'Big fan of the Article Monkeys': Sexting MP Danczuk's toe-curling clangers as he tried to impress 17-year-old girl

MP for Rochdale Simon Danczuk, 49, (left) sent a series of embarrassing text messages to Sophena Houlihan, 17 (right) - including referring to Indie Rock band Arctic Monkeys as the Article Monkeys (inset). In another gaffe he asked the teenager: 'What are you doing asking for coffee at this time of night?' when she referred to the song Coffee and TV. And when he was told it was a song recorded by Blur he admitted he was 'out of touch' but boasted he had been to Glastonbury and Reading.
