Nothing would be sweeter for the Tory Party high command than to see Nadine Dorries skinned alive for her temerity in abandoning Parliament for the thrills of the ITV1 reality TV show.
So, no doubt that most of them were delighted last night at the look of horror across Dorries’ face when she discovered what she had let herself in for on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
The Conservative MP appeared shocked to find out the contest rules. One of the rules states that they would be forced to empty their own toilet in the Australian jungle. After reading the camp instructions she said: 'Oh my God! We have to empty the toilet out with our hands.'
Mrs Dorries, 55, also seemed upset by the fact that the contestants would be sleeping on the ground instead of hammocks, distilling their own water and collecting firewood.
Recently, the former nurse took charge of the camp and later said she was 'worn out' after she delegated the tasks among her team mates. Viewers saw Mrs Dorries justify her appearance in the jungle to fellow camper Hugo Taylor from TV show Made in Chelsea.
She said: 'Sixteen million people watching this show. That's how politics should be. Sixteen million people do not watch Prime Minister's Question Time or Question Time.'
Her publicity point was highlighted when former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan wasted no time to strip down to wearing a bikini and got in the camp shower – a scene that has become traditional among the fame-hungry celebrities in the TV jungle.
Back to Mrs Dorries, when Mr Taylor asked the politician if she would like to be Prime Minister.
'God no,' she said. 'Never in a million years.'
Later Dorries asked former darts champion Eric Bristow how he had voted in the last election. He responded: 'I don't vote. They're all liars.' Yesterday a blog that Mrs Dorries wrote prior to the time they that she went into the jungle revealed she fully knew her appearance on the show might cause her the job at the parliamentary.
As published yesterday: 'G'day. Is it outrage back home?' She then added: 'I think many may have guessed that I am a bit of an anti-politics politician.'
The Mid-Bedfordshire MP caused some commotion last week after leaving her party for the ITV1 show without even notifying her superiors. Now, she is suspended from the party list.
However, Mrs Dorries remains defiant about her claim that she had informed the Whips Office that she would be away for a month. She also noted that she is willing to donate her parliamentary salary for the period she is away to children's charities.
Her parliamentary salary is £5,500 which is significantly less than the £40,000 fee she is understood to be receiving from ITV to be a contestant.
