Wife of Tory MP who 'watched porn' in parliament brands claims 'very embarrassing' but vows to stick by him

The wife of a Tory MP who was accused of watching porn in the House of Commons has shared her "embarrassment" over the claims - but has vowed to stay with him.

Neil Parish, who represents Tiverton and Honiton in the South West, has referred himself to the standards committee of the Commons over the alleged incident, but has told he is not stepping down from Parliament, the Mirror reports.

His wife, Sue, described the claims as "very embarrassing" when she was informed he had been named as the MP involved, the Mirror reports. She insisted her husband would not watch porn in front of other people, although she backed the women who had made the allegations.
