Laurence Fox is reportedly set for HMP

The actor and former Conservative MP are both said to have signed up for upcoming Channel 4 show HMP which is set to start filming later this month as they get locked up in a jail cell for the series.

An insider told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column: "Laurence and Neil are both on board for HMP and will be locked up later this month.

“Both have said they’re excited about the challenge and will be living like real-life prisoners, with proper ex-criminals.

"Laurence is a really divisive figure and there will be a lot of people tuning in to watch him get a bit of fictional justice. The same goes for Neil."

Now, the public will see Neil and Laurence locked up for the show as Channel 4 bosses look to give viewers an insight into prison and rehabilitation.

The source added: “Both Laurence and Neil will be paired up with a former prisoner and locked up in a cell to get an idea of what prison is really like.”

Former 'Lewis' star Laurence has become an outspoken political campaigner in recent years, while ex-politician Neil designed in 2022 after admitting to watching pornography in parliament on two occasions.

He claimed the first incident happened by accident when he was actually trying to look at tractors for his family farm.

He previously said: "The situation was, funnily enough, it was tractors I was looking at, so I did get into another website with sort of a very similar name and I watched it for a bit, which I shouldn’t have done.

"My crime — my biggest crime — is that on another occasion I went in a second time — and that was deliberate. That was sitting waiting to vote.”
