A UKIP local election candidate has spent the past 30 years working in the adult film industry, it has been revealed.
John Langley, who is vice chairman of the party’s Bristol branch, performed in pornographic films under the name Johnny Rockard.
He is hoping to be elected as councillor for the Stockwood constituency.
The 49-year-old told The Mirror newspaper: “”This is no big deal. It is just electioneering and it is the type of thing you expect in the run up to any election.
“I have never made a big deal out of what I do and I am not breaking any laws.”
He added: “UKIP is a working class party which appeals to working class people.
“Normal people go to the pub and enjoy a pint and then probably go home and enjoy adult entertainment. What people do in their private lives is really up to them.”
A UKIP spokesman said: “Mr Langley is not doing anything illegal and it is a little bit unusual but at the end of the day he is a businessman.
“Nothing is being hidden and there is no issue as far as we are concerned with him standing for UKIP in the election.”
