The comedian and actor Rufus Hound is to stand in the next European elections to campaign against changes to the NHS.
The former stand-up comic is running for the National Health Action Party (NHA) - formed by medical professionals to oppose health policy in England.
Hound, 34, said he had already been "tweeting endlessly" about "dangers the NHS currently faces", but had now decided to become a politician.
He campaigned for the Liberal Democrats at the last election.
"I think I'm going to run as an MEP," he told ITV's Jonathan Ross Show.
"I'm going to run for the NHA because the NHS is being privatised."
