Conservative MP Nadine Dorries could face the wrath of her constituents as she heads to Australia for up to a month to take part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Ms Dorries, 55, who represents Mid Bedfordshire, will be the first serving MP to take part in the programme. As well as risking the anger of those she represents for taking extended leave from her day job, she will also face questions from senior MPs, according to The Sun. The newspaper said Ms Dorries' appearance on the show, which begins on Sunday, will mean she misses an EU budget vote and chancellor George Osborne's UK mini-budget. Her sojourn in the jungle has attracted criticism on Twitter. Former Tory MP Louise Mensch, who gave up her Corby seat in August to live with her husband in America, wrote: "Nothing sadder than a politician, or ex-politician, on any of those shows. "Just imagining the scene in the whips' office if I said I wanted to skip Parliament for weeks to go on a celebrity TV show." Nigel Fletcher tweeted: "You're not a 'Celebrity', Nadine, you're a Member of Parliament, and your constituents pay you to work for them, not ITV." The TaxPayers' Alliance told The Sun: "While she is being a Z-list celebrity, her constituents will be without an MP."
