text: This is the cringe-making moment Ed Miliband was mobbed by a screaming hen party – and even let the bride on his tour bus for a 'selfie'. The Labour leader was jokingly referred to as the stripper after his battle bus was gatecrashed by bride-to-be Nicola Braithwaite and her friends. One of the group from Knutsford spotted the leader's bus when she popped outside the Westminster Hotel for a cigarette and quickly alerted the bride. After brief negotiations with his spin doctors, the solicitor was allowed on the bus and emerged grinning after a few minutes in a white and blue dress, saying: 'I got a full on picture with him'. Scroll down for video . Ed Miliband was mobbed by a screaming hen party – and even let the bride on his tour bus for a private 'selfie' The Labour leader was surrounded by more than 20 young women screaming 'Ed! Ed! Ed!' and then they posed for a group selfie . The bride-to-be's sister, Kathryn Braithwaite, posted a picture of Nicola and Miliband on the campaign bus . She was met by whoops and cheers from the raucous group of hens, all wearing black dresses and pink sashes, who started yelling for him to come and meet them. The Labour leader then appeared and high-fived a few of the women before they started chanting 'Selfie! Selfie! Selfie!' and turned their backs on him for a group shot. One of the women was heard saying: 'Hashtag Ed' and the group erupted into giggles before Mr Miliband made his excuses and waved goodbye. The bride-to-be has pondered whether he will also turn up to her wedding, saying: 'Maybe he'll make the big day!' Anna Heaford, one of the hens, tweeted saying: 'The stripper had just arrived for Nicola Braithwaite's hen do..! #EdMiliband.' She also tweeted earlier today, saying: 'We're blaming the cocktails.' Sanda, who was also part of the hen party, said: 'He was a true gentleman and a fun person.' Miss Braithwaite's sister Kathryn Braithwaite posted the picture of the bride-to-be with Miliband inside the bus and said: 'Only my sister can have a pic with Ed_Miliband #ed #henparty.' One of the hens, Anna Heaford, posted a hilarious tweet, saying: 'The stripper has just arrived' Bride Nicola Braithwaite was allowed on the bus and emerged grinning wearing a white and blue dress . One of Mrs Braithwaite's friends, Heaney Watson, said: 'Our Nicola breaks off her hen do to discuss #legalaid with @EdMilliband #goodtimes.' The Labour leader was about to be dropped off at Chester Railway Station to return to London after a long day of campaigning when he was mobbed by his toughest trail opponents so far. Earlier in the day he had met parliamentary candidate Chris Matheson and supporters at Chester Racecourse. He told the crowd: 'It's great to be here. I want to thank all of you for the incredible job that you're doing. Secondly, I want to hear a very big Chester cheer for Chris Matheson and the brilliant campaign he's running. Let's hear it for Chris. 'Now I met a little boy called Aidan and it's sixth birthday at the beginning of May and he said to me as I left 'Are we going to get rid of David Cameron?'. What's the answer to that? Are we going to get rid of David Cameron?' Alex Salmond has stepped up the pressure on Mr Miliband saying he won't be able to avoid a deal with the SNP and was 'foolish' to rule out a coalition. SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon warned Mr Miliband he would not be forgiven if he allowed David Cameron back into Downing Street because he was unwilling to do a deal with the SNP. During Thursday night's TV debate, she said: 'I can help Labour be bolder … take the chance to kick David Cameron out of Downing Street. Don't turn your back on it - people will never forgive you.' She was met by whoops and cheers from the raucous group of hens and said: 'I got a full on picture with him' One of the women was heard saying: 'Hashtag Ed' and the group erupted into giggles before Mr Miliband made his excuses and waved goodbye.
