Labour MP Simon Danczuk has been suspended by the party after newspaper allegations about his private life.
The Sun alleged he exchanged explicit text messages with a 17-year-old girl.
On Twitter, the Rochdale MP said the story was “not entirely accurate” but referred to “an extremely low point” in his life.
He said he apologised unreservedly for his “inappropriate” behaviour, adding: “I was stupid [and] there’s no fool like an old fool.”
A Labour Party spokesman said: “The general secretary of the Labour Party has today suspended Simon Danczuk’s membership of the party, pending an investigation into allegations published in the media today.
“A full investigation will now take place under the authority of the National Executive Committee, which will be responsible for determining any further action.”
