Former MP turned media celebrity Lembit Opik says he is constantly asked to consider running to become the president of Estonia.

The ex-Welsh Lib-Dem said he has considered contesting the post when it next comes up for election.

The former I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here TV contestant was speaking after visiting the Estonia capital Tallinn.

Estonia was home to his grandfather, the astronomer Ernst Julius Opik.

Mr Opik said he had been asked to consider being either a member of the Estonian parliament, or to consider running as president.

"One position is just to be a member of parliament, which I would not mind doing," the 53-year-old said.

"There are 101 MPs and they do work in coalition, so it is not very partisan.

"The other position is president of Estonia. It is more than just a non-executive role - I could make quite a big splash.

"I have not got a campaign plan but I have said I would be interested. It's not an appointed job, I would have to stand for it."
