Alastair Campbell became the third 'celebrity' to cry on national television this week, following in the footsteps of Peter Andre and Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Peter cried after Kay Burley ambushed him with suggestions that Alex Reid may adopt his children, Gordon Brown cried during an interview with Piers Morgan in which he was asked about his late baby daughter Jennifer Jane.

Alastair Campbell had his brekadown while being questioned about his and Tony Blair's role in the Iraq war.

During an interview on BBC's Andrew Marr Show Mr Marr asked: "If beyond doubt is not established in the intelligence when this inquiry looks at the intelligence, does it then follow, yes or no, the prime minister misled Parliament?"

Mr Campbell replied that Mr Blair "did not mislead Parliament" he then started to wobble and looked close to tears.

He said: "I've been through a lot on this Andrew. And I've been through a lot of that inquiry... and... Tony Blair, I think, is a totally honourable man."

He claimed that the media was obsessed with "settling your scores and setting your own agenda".

"You did it again this morning, which is probably why I'm a bit upset, this constant sort of vilification.

"You compared the novel to the dossier, and it's all fiction and all the rest of it. It's not. And I just think the way that this whole issue has developed now where I don't think people are interested in the truth anymore, Andrew."

He added: "I'm sorry if I do get upset about this but I was there alongside Tony, I know how that decision weighed on him, I know the care that we took."

So were they crocodile tears or the real and genuine thing? We'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject below.
