Sheffield Central has Conservative Janice Silvester-Hall from Lichfield and Paul Ward coming from Leeds for the Brexit Party.

Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough has Conservative Hannah Westropp from Grantham.

Candidates must give either their home address or their home constituency when they are nominated but there is no law than an MP must live in their constituency - or even in the UK.

In Tynemouth Brexit Party candidate Ed Punchard is standing despite being registered as living 9,000 miles away in Fremantle, near Perth, Australia.

The Conservatives and Brexit Party have been approached for comments.
