Labour MP for Vauxhall Kate Hoey tells BBC London 94.9 presenter Kath Melandri why she's agree to work with Boris should he become mayor:

No endorsement

Ms Hoey said even though she will be Mr Johnson's adviser on sport and the 2012 London Olympics, she is not endorsing him for mayor and will vote Labour.

Labour mayor Ken Livingstone said Ms Hoey had been "a sort of semi-detached member of the party in recent years".

Liberal Democrat candidate Brian Paddick said: "Kate Hoey is bonkers - they make a perfect couple."

Mr Johnson had said the MP for the south London constituency of Vauxhall will be part of his administration.

But the former sports minister denied this saying: "The key part of the Boris Johnson statement - i.e. that I will be the first member of his administration - is wrong.

"I have simply agreed ... that I will advise on a non-partisan basis in respect of my lifetime commitment to bringing sport to the people of London.

"I am a Labour MP and I am standing for Labour at the next election. I support the Labour Government."

Mr Johnson had said: "I am delighted to announce that Kate Hoey will join me in my administration if I win on 1 May.

"She and I agree that there is much more that can be done to promote sport and to develop sporting facilities across London.

"I am determined to bring talent from across politics and the community to a new administration."

'Wembley fiasco'

Mr Livingstone described Ms Hoey as "eccentric".

"She was one of the few Labour MPs to vote against banning fox-hunting," he told LBC Radio.

"But I'm surprised he's going to take her advice on sport because I think the reason Tony Blair sacked her at the end of his first term, was because she'd been involved in all the fiasco over Wembley.

"But I suppose she knows more about it than Boris does."

Londoners go to the polls on Thursday.
