'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' MP Nadine Dorries criticised by Conservatives, Twitter? - ✰Torvill and Dean Fan✰ - 11-27-2012 06:56 AM
Conservative MP Nadine Dorries has faced a significant backlash for signing up to take part in ITV1 reality show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.
Dorries has been an MP for Mid-Bedfordshire since 2005, but it is likely she will miss important votes in the House of Commons and the Chancellor's Autumn Statement while taking part in the series.
Commentators have quickly voiced concerns about her commitment to her constituents and her work as an MP while she is being paid to appear on the entertainment show filmed in Australia.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that Dorries's local party association in Mid-Bedfordshire is holding a meeting about her future as MP. The Daily Mail's James Chapman claims that the party didn't know anything about her involvement in the show.

What do you think? Do you think she should be on the show or not?

All I can say is that because she's a Tory I hope she loses after having to eat so many bugs that she gets ill.

OUR taxes go to pay her. Her job is to be an MP and represent her constituents. It's not like being an MP is poorly paid. Sounds to me it's all about self promotion, upping her profile. She should stay put and do what she's being paid for or be sacked, simple as that.
Edit... The Conservative party have suspended her. I thought that might happen.

Yes it was right that she was suspended. She could have at least had the decency to tell the her boss what she was planning to do.
See her hometown are up in arms too, can't blame them as she's left a bad taste behind.
Not a good start for her is it, silly woman.
