Former MP and reality TV star Ann Widdecombe found murdered in her home
TalkTV host Peter Cardwell pays tribute to former MP and TV personality Ann Widdecombe, following her death at the age of 78. “She was a much-loved, slightly controversial, very blunt politician, who was a member of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK,” Mr Cardwell told Sky News Australia. “Strictly Come Dancing was the one so many people remember her for because her dancing wasn’t brilliant, but she really lent into it. “It’s really shocked the nation that she is dead … a 26-year-old white British man has been arrested on suspicion (of murder).”
