THE Prime Minister has been named the most boring public speaker in the country – pushing the footballer David Beckham into second place.
In a survey of 1,000 adults, one in five named Gordon Brown as the worst public speaker, followed by Beckham, the actress Kate Winslett, Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles and the Prince of Wales.

One in six of those polled said public speaking was their "worst nightmare".
