So what's in the news today Mr Gove? Raver Michael Gove is caught reading about night he was filmed dancing in Aberdeen nightclub as mother says he was just 'de-stressing'

Raver Michael Gove who was filmed throwing shapes on the dancefloor at a Scottish nightclub was spotted reading about his exploits on his flight back home.

The senior Tory MP, 54, who was caught dancing in Bohemia in Aberdeen last Sunday, was seen reading about his antics during a BA flight from Aberdeen to Heathrow this week.

It comes after footage emerged of the Cabinet Office minister, who grew up in Aberdeen, dancing to techno music with fellow revellers in his suit.

The newspaper article, which included an analysis of Mr Gove's dance skills by Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood, appeared to amuse the Tory minister who was heard 'stifling a giggle', according to one witness.

The passenger told The Sun: 'He was devouring every word and at one point seemed to be stifling a giggle.'

The Tory minister had been visiting his parents Ernest, 85, and Christine, 75, when he embarked on his night of adventure over the Bank Holiday weekend.  

His mother Christine later revealed she first heard about her son's night out after seeing the pictures in the paper. 

She told The Sun: 'I was surprised to see him in the club but he looked like he was having a good time, which is the most important thing.' 

She added: 'I think he was de-stressing after the last few months. I don't ask about his family life, that's his business.'

This week musician Emma Lament, who posted the videos to Instagram, wrote in the captions that the newly-single minister was 'giving it big licks' as he bopped to the music.

In the videos, Mr Gove, who dressed in a suit with no tie, could be seen jumping, two-stepping and waving his arms around to the music. 

The senior Tory MP reportedly turned up to O'Neill's pub alone and was quickly adopted by local punters who urged him to join them for the Pipe club night at Bohemia upstairs after last orders were called.

The minister then appeared to be enjoying a night on the tiles in his hometown and posed for pictures with several punters throughout the night.

The scenes came two months after Mr Gove and his wife of 20 years, columnist Sarah Vine, announced they were in the process of getting divorced.

Ms Lament told The Daily Record that Mr Gove had appeared at O'Neill's around 1.15am just as the pub was closing and appeared to be by himself.

'The Tories aren't too popular in Scotland but people were generally quite nice to him,' she said, adding: 'It's fair to say he'd had a good few shandies when he arrived at O'Neill's.' 

Ms Lament said that she was happy to see an MP backing Scotland's nightlife, which has recently reopened after an extended closure due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Meanwhile Pipe manager Adam Taylor claimed Mr Gove tried to avoid the club night's £5 entry fee.

'I was welcoming people at the door of O'Neill's for the launch of Pipe, our new club night and art organisation, when Michael Gove, who had been drinking downstairs tried to walk past me upstairs without paying the entry fee,' Taylor told The Daily Record.

'He was saying he shouldn't have to pay because he is the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.' 

A statement from the club said: 'Thanks to all the amazing people, and Michael Gove, who made it out for the first Pipe last night. We had a great time going in for four hours straight. Definitely blew some cobwebs away.'
