AN SNP candidate has withdrawn from next year’s Holyrood election after revelations over his links to an online ‘swingers’ profile.

Rising star and Nicola Sturgeon ally Math Campbell-Sturgess, 42, was selected to contest Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie's Dumbarton seat earlier this year.

But he stepped down after being asked about the account on Fabswingers.com looking for “threesome” partners for a man and a woman who go by the pseudonym “Scotsbicouple”.

The Scottish Mail on Sunday said the profile on the site, used to organise sex meetups, displays highly explicit images showing a woman posing in her underwear and performing a sex act.

The man, who goes by the name of M (42), is not pictured and the profile explains images are limited due to ‘work sensitivities’.

Mr Campbell-Sturgess, who was the founder of the Scexit campaign group English Scots for Yes, is also a councillor for Helensburgh and Lomond South on Argyll and Bute Council.

The newspaper said he initially denied it was his profile and suggested it might have been an impersonator account. However, he then changed his response and said “everyone is entitled to a private life” and insisted he had “done nothing wrong”.
