Ann Widdecombe has signed up for Celebrity Cooking School
The ex-‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star, 73, and lawyer Nancy Dell’Olio, 61, are both set to take part in the E4 reality series.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “Ann and Nancy are two formidable women who need a little bit of help in the kitchen.
“Nancy appeared on 'Celebrity MasterChef' last year but it was obvious she was useless hence why she was booted off first.
“As she said herself then, the main ingredients in her fridge were ‘water, champagne and wine,’ so she needs to go back to basics.
"Ann, meanwhile, just needs a refresher. But host Melvin Odoom and chef Giorgio Locatelli will have to be wary of her temper. Ann is not a woman you can boss around.
“Producers imagine she could be quite the menace once she gets behind the hob so they are expecting fireworks.”
Ann is expected to rub shoulders with fellow reality stars James Argent and Scotty T on the show.
As well as her political career, the star - who has appeared on several reality shows, including ‘Celebrity Fit Club’ and ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ - is also known for her exploits on BBC One Latin and ballroom competition 'Strictly'.
She famously overcame the odds to finish sixth on the 2010 series, while partnered alongside Anton Du Beke, and one of the most memorable moments of the series was when she was dragged across the floor by the now-'Strictly' judge during one of their routines.
Then-head judge Len Goodman likened the performance to a car crash, saying: "You don’t really wanna watch, but you can’t help yourself."
