Ex-PM David Cameron braves the chill as he strips off on the beach in Cornwall

David Cameron was spotted stripping down on the beach – surrounded by security – as he returned to Cornwall for his annual family getaway, this week.

The former British Prime Minister was seen changing out of his surfing gear on Bank Holiday Monday, next to a Range Rover parked on the sand at Polzeath beach.

Mr Cameron, with wife Samantha, was also spotted clutching a surf board while surrounded by burly guards, just a mile from his holiday home in the village of Trebetherick.

Despite grey skies and rain falling, the Camerons appeared to be enjoyed their drizzly day out as they took a dip in the sea. 

The Camerons have been taking stay-cations on the Cornish coast for many years.

Cynics suggested the family fun trips to the coast were to make the Camerons seem more relatable to voters- but the former PM has proven critics wrong.

Last year, the Cameron family splashed out on a £2million property, after he left Downing Street.

Months later the former Conservative Party leader bought a shepherd’s hut for the garden of his holiday home for £25,000. The green clad hut is being used as a writing space.

Since leaving Downing Street Mr Cameron has taken work with a high profile public speaking agency, while working on the UK-China Fund, which he has vice-chaired since December 2017.

He is also involved in the expansion of the National Citizen Service (NCS), the multi-million pound tax payer funded project which has previously been criticised for having a small intake.
