The alleged betting scandal took a new twist this afternoon, after it emerged the Gambling Commission is investigating another candidate - this time from the Labour Party.
Who is it? Kevin Craig is the Labour candidate for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich (a full list of candidates is here).
What happened? On Tuesday afternoon, Labour announced it had suspended Craig after learning the Gambling Commission had launched an investigation into him.
What did Craig allegedly do? In a statement, Craig admitted that he put a bet that the Tories would win in his seat. He says he would have given any winnings to local charities. He acknowledges it was a "huge mistake" and is "deeply sorry" - but says he placed the bet with no prior knowledge of the outcome.
What has Labour said? The party said it acted "immediately" as it "upholds the highest standards" of candidates.
