The MP husband of selfie-loving Karen Danczuk was spotted favouriting hard-core porn on Twitter - but blamed it on a fault with his iPhone . A constituent flagged up the blunder after realising the Labour MP had favourited a tweet linked to an account described as 'an 18+ Erotic account for posting sexy pictures of sexy women ' . The Rochdale MP does not follow the account , which features dozens of pornographic pictures of women . He says a glitch with his smartphone caused it to favourite the image and he was unaware of what had happened until Friday . The howler came after his selfie-Queen wife , Karen , was invited to host the UK Porn Awards , although she has apparently turned down the opportunity . Scroll down for video . Labour MP for Rochdale Simon Danczuk , pictured right , the husband of selfie-loving Karen , pictured left , was spotted favouriting hardcore porn on Twitter . He said : 'It 's a fault with my iPhone and I 'm getting it replaced . The screen starts flickering and jumping about and I 've no idea how this happened . ' The picture was initially posted on March 22 . Two days later a Twitter user calling himself Neil NW-Hoopz tweeted next to the account : 'Have a look at what my MP @ SimonDanczuk is favouriting on Twitter , # oops . ' It 's understood Mr Danczuk was out canvassing in Rochdale when the slip-up happened . MP , who has campaigned against child sexual exploitation , hit the headlines last week when he said in an interview in the New Statesman that Ed Miliband was considered more of a 'toff ' by voters than David Cameron . The interview was brought up by Jeremy Paxman during Thursday 's live TV debate with Mr Miliband and David Cameron . Mr Danczuk also clashed with controversial columnist Katie Hopkins on Twitter over race relations . Hopkins has criticised him for posting a picture of himself in Rochdale next to a Pakistani flag . A constituent in Rochdale flagged up the blunder by tweeting the MP , pictured above . She linked it to the child sex grooming scandal in the town , which led to jailing of a gang of Asian men for 77 years in 2012 . But Mr Danczuk accused her of spreading 'vitriol ' and of 'racist generalisation ' . Mrs Dancuk , known as the Queen of the Selfies , is a former Rochdale councillor who announced she was stepping down earlier this year to pursue other career opportunities , including media work . She became known for posting a series of racy images of herself on Twitter and revealed in February she had been sexually abused as a child .
