This comes after Grant faced backlash for supporting the Labour Party just two days after vowing to vote for the Liberal Democrats in his constituency. Opponents have brought up his arrest on social media and he is proving he isn’t bothered by it.

At the time of the arrest, the “Bridget Jones’s Diary” actor was dating model Liz Hurley. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $1000 and ordered to attend an education program about AIDS. Brown was sentenced to 180 days in prison for engaging in lewd conduct in a public place and for violating probation for previous prostitution charges.

Hugh has campaigned for tactical voting in next week’s General Election, even knocking on doors with candidate Luciana Berger on Sunday.
