The former Speaker of the House of Commons and member of Parliament bragged about his skills to other contestants on the latest series of the hit reality show.

Mr Bercow was not chosen as a traitor, but instead, Dan Gheesling from Big Brother, Phaedra Parks from The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Parvati Shallow from Survivor were selected. Kathryn Stone, Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, upheld 21 out of 35 counts brought by Lord Lisvane (left), the former clerk of the Commons, and former private secretaries Kate Emms (right) and Angus Sinclair In an astonishing 800-word rant, Mr Bercow (pictured with wife Sally in 2019) blasted the decision, saying it was a 'travesty of justice rooted in prejudice, spite and hearsay' carried out by a 'kangaroo court'.
