Coldplay On Gordon Brown's iPod

Gordon Brown has revealed his private tastes and admitted he's an Arctic Monkeys fan.

The Chancellor revealed the contents of his iPod, saying: "Beethoven, Bach, the Beatles, U2, Coldplay and James Blunt. And Arctic Monkeys really wake you up in the morning."

The political heavyweight also had a few surprises about what he watches on TV. He said: "Any type of sport: football, rugby, hockey - I even watch ladies' curling. And reality TV - Pop Idol, X Factor, Fame Academy. There's so much talent out there. It's great to see people getting the chance to show their potential." Asked who he would like to play him in a movie, he said his wife Sarah would push for George Clooney. Brown - expected to be the next prime minister - said: "I want Britain to be the great global success story because of the chances we give people to make the most of themselves. Everyone will benefit as a result. We become a more successful economy and a more caring community."

In the interview with New Woman magazine, Brown revealed a knowledge of female sex aids, including the Rampant Rabbit vibrator. Asked what sprang to mind when the word "rabbit" was mentioned, he chuckled and replied: "Sex And The City."
