LONDON (AP) - A British lawmaker is swapping the political jungle for the Australian rainforest and becoming a contestant on a reality TV show.
Conservative legislator Nadine Dorries is facing criticism for taking part in “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here,” which strands C-list celebrities in the Australian wilderness and subjects them to trials involving assorted creepy-crawlies.
Dorries was criticized Tuesday for taking up to a month off from her parliamentary duties. Former Conservative legislator Harry Greenway called the decision “outrageous.”
