The Labour leader was seen to lean in to embrace Justine as she joined him to take the applause of activists at the end of his keynote speech.

But she moved away, leaving him poised in mid-air in the first of a series of near misses.

Asked on Sky News if it had been a “bad breath problem” or something else, Mr Miliband said: “All I can say is, she’s never complained.”
