BBC Radio 5 live is looking for a family in the highly marginal Southampton Itchen constituency, which includes Bitterne Park, to host a 'Pizza and a Politician' show on April 17   April 10.

 

As part of the station's election coverage it's featuring 20 seats that could help decide the outcome of the general election on May 7.

At the last general election in 2010, Labour beat the Conservatives by just 192 votes in Itchen, and now Radio 5 live wants to find a "politically undecided family" living in the constituency to host the broadcast, which would form part of the Stephen Nolan show that goes out from 10pm on that evening.

“We will bring pizza and a Labour politician to their home and they will be given the opportunity to quiz that politician close up, from their own living room,” said a BBC spokesperson.

If you're interested in hosting or taking part, email or call Natasha Johansson on 0161 335 6507.
