A Tory MP ousted at the general election in June has been named in the line-up for Celebrity Big Brother 2018.
Charlotte Leslie, who represented Bristol North West for seven years, will reportedly receive a six-figure fee for her apperance on the Channel 5 show.
She will join transgender newsreader India Willoughby, the Sun claims, amid an all-female case of celebrity housemates to mark the centenary of women’s suffrage.
Ms Leslie joins a string of politicans who turned their hand to reality telvision, some while they were still in office and others to boost their careers.

"Presented by Emma Willis, Celebrity Big Brother will initially explore how the all-female housemates interact, from politicians to performing artists, as they enter the house first, ahead of the celebrity male housemates."
