Moves have been set in motion to ban MPs from appearing in reality TV shows. The bid comes after sitting MP Matt Hancock swapped parliament for the jungle with his appearance on I’m A Celebrity.
The MP left many of his constituents angry over his time spent out of the country. He is reported as earning £400,000 for his spell in the Australian camp.
Now according to the Mirror, the Lib Dems are seeking to stop other MPs from doing the same. by tabling an Early Day Motion, dubbed the “Bushtucker Bill''. This is calling for Westminster’s rules to be changed to stop MPs from taking part in reality TV programmes abroad for weeks at a time while Parliament is sitting.
