Students warmly welcomed Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner at the Oxford Union last week. Earlier this month protesters had forced the cancellation of a debate involving far-right historian David Irving.

Hefner, travelling across Europe with his seven girlfriends, to celebrate his 75th birthday disappointed the undergraduates by leaving Tina, Regina, Kimberley, Tiffaney, Stephanie, Michelle and Dalene in London.

He drew laughter from the audience when he "admitted" he was faithful to all seven girlfriends.
