Nadine Dorries, 64 (Rose Heath Primary School and Halewood Grange Comprehensive School) was born in Liverpool, and from school worked as a trainee nurse in 1975, before moving to medical sales in 1982. She first stood for Parliament in 2000, and was elected for Mid-Bedfordshire in 2005. She is divorced, with three children. Her first novel, The Four Streets, was published in 2014.
Her previous tweets suggest some familiarity with at least one BBC non-executive, even if confused, once again, with a Bee Gee.
@RobbieGibb @daily_politics Hi Robin, I will send you a link to my adjournment debate tomorrow night gender balance in the BBC :)
— Nadine Dorries MP (@NadineDorries) January 22, 2012
Ms Dorries let rip about broadcasting and BBC gender balance in that debate. She reminded MPs of her thoughts on Andrew Neil "I am not proud of the fact that I described him as an ageing, overweight, orange toupee-wearing has-been."
In November 2012, she was suspended from the Conservative whip for taking part in reality TV programme I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! without informing the Chief Whip.
In 2018, she said Have I Got News For You is “too vicious” for most female contestants and guests and does not “lend itself to women feeling comfortable”. She appeared on Ian Hislop's team in 2012.
