The prime minister reportedly undertook the lewd act as part of an initiation ceremony for the elite Piers Gaveston society during his time at Oxford University.

The incident is said to have happened during a party at the notorious Oxford dining society, the Piers Gaveston, which specializes in weird rituals and sexual excess according to the Daily Mail.
It remains to be seen as to whether or not Downing Street – or David Cameron – will comment directly on the rumours surrounding the Prime Minister.
Of all the scandals British Prime Minister David Cameron has had to survive, this is by far the most outlandish.
“I am not intending to dignify this book by offering any comment”, the prime minister’s official spokeswoman said.
The claims come in the wake of a falling out between Ashcroft and Prime Minister Cameron.
The book, which is being serialised in the Daily Mail, was co-authored by former Sunday Times political editor Isabel Oakeshott.
Lord Ashcroft set out his campaign of retribution after revealing how he was overlooked for a role in David Cameron’s Cabinet in 2010 after donating millions of pounds to the Conservatives since the party’s defeat in 1997.
In the episode, the PM (played by Rory Kinnear) must have sex with a pig in order to secure the safe release of a kidnapped Princess Susannah, Duchess of Beaumont (Lydia Wilson).
He claims that Mr Cameron was part of a “dope smoking group” with friends while he studied at Oxford.
“Lord Ashcroft was always very clear right from the outset of this project that the book should be objective and even-handed”, she told Sky News.
Cameron and Ashcroft have known each other for many years and have always been at odds.
Lord Ashcroft is still employed by the Government as Mr Cameron’s “special representative for veterans’ transition” and sources have suggested his position could now be reviewed.

But their version was contradicted by Lord Ashcroft who said: “In 2009, I discussed the matter in detail with Cameron”.
