There's been a dip in voter turnout in Cambridge with 67.4% compared to 71.2% in 2017.

Teams in South Cambridgeshire have started counting.

Sweets are possibly providing a much-needed sugar rush to keep things going.

Peterborough City Council say all votes verified and are now being counted proper.

Declaration is expected as early as 01.30 GMT.

Alex Mayer, former Labour MEP, and Lewis Herbert, Labour leader of Cambridge City Council, say they are confident of a Labour hold in Cambridge, although they concede their majority has been slashed.

Mr Herbert said: "Even in Cambridge, you can't ignore the 25% of people who voted for Brexit."

If Bedford and Peterborough go Tory "its back to thin gruel" for Labour in the East of England, he says.

A senior Conservative source has told the BBC the party is "quietly confident" of victory in Peterborough and taking the seat back from Labour - which held it at a by-election in June.

The Conservatives have similar expectations for the South Cambridgeshire seat, with party sources confident of victory there as well.

Leader of Peterborough City Council John Holditch says the city has had one of the highest voting numbers in recent years - with a turnout of about 70%.

The Official Monster Raving Loony Party candidate in Peterborough, the Very Raving Mr P is in bullish mood tonight.

Asked for his thoughts and ambitions for the party, he told the BBC: "One hundred seats would be good.. anything less would be a fantastic result."

Another fascinating seat to watch is South Cambridgeshire. Once held by Conservative Heidi Allen, she joined the Liberal Democrats and then announced she wouldn’t defend her near-16,000 majority.

Labour came second in 2017 but some are predicting a close race between the new Conservative candidate and the Lib Dem.

A coup here for the Lib Dems would only make Boris Johnson’s route to a Commons majority tougher.

Peterborough was being talked of as a potential three-horse race between the Conservatives, Labour and the Brexit Party.

But is Nigel Farage’s new party already a busted flush or could a strong, well-known local candidate in Mike Greene prove the polls wrong?

At the start of the campaign, some thought Greene could win – he came a close second in a by-election there in June this year. Another possibility: that he swipes much-needed votes from the Conservative candidate, allowing Labour to squeeze through and hold the seat.

Before today's election, the Conservatives held most of the seats in the East and the expectation is that they will continue to do so.

But could the party be on the verge of holding nearly EVERY seat in the region?

If its Brexit message has gone down well in this largely leave supporting region, it should take North Norfolk and Ipswich (pictured) and hold its existing seats with increased majorities.

For Labour, it will be a tense night. It currently holds Ipswich, Peterborough and Bedford with majorities of under a thousand - they've been putting a lot of effort into taking Norwich North.

Success in these seats will show the party still has notable support in this region - failure would be a bitter blow.

Rod Cantrill is the new Lib Dem candidate this year after Julian Huppert threw in the towel in 2017. Mr Cantrill is well-known in the city (a Cambridge councillor and former mayoral candidate), which may help his chances.

The Lib Dems have been busy leafleting the city, with some people getting multiple deliveries of pamphlets a day, while Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson has been for a visit to lend her support.

Everyone, including Labour, was surprised at just how much of a swing its candidate Daniel Zeichner (pictured above) got in 2017 (10.7%) - he had won by just 599 votes in 2015.

Labour has a strong and organised student movement in Cambridge, which has been crucial to them in the past, the students have already gone home before this election so it will be interesting to see what impact that has.

Cambridge is a strong remain seat and, although Mr Zeichner has always voted against Brexit deals and been a clear remainer, the Lib Dems' consistent pro-Remain stance may play a part in the election.

There are three seats in Cambridgeshire that are worth keeping a close eye on. Each will tell a different story from this election.

The first is Peterborough (pictured), where we had a by-election in May. Labour narrowly won then, with the Brexit Party coming second, but it seems that it could be the Conservatives night this time round.

Then there’s Cambridge. Labour significantly increased its majority in 2017, but the Liberal Democrats is hoping that their Brexit policy will help them win back the seat they lost back in 2015.

And finally, Heidi Allen’s former seat of South Cambridgeshire. With Heidi stepping down this is a hard one to predict, it’s previously been a safe Conservative seat, but it’s a remain area and the Liberal Democrats won control of the district council in 2017, so could they have the same success with an MP?

Only two of the county's seven seats did not return a Conservative MP in 2017.

The BBC is reporting from all of the seven election counts in Cambridgeshire.

In 2017, the county returned Conservative MPs, except in Cambridge and Peterborough, which both voted Labour.
