Former culture secretary Nadine Dorries is to host a new Friday night show on TalkTV, it has been announced.
Called Friday Night With Nadine, the new programme promises to offer "irreverent look at the week's news and a lively mix of topical chat with guests from the world of politics, culture and sport".
The first episode will see Dorries sit down for a one-on-one interview with her close friend, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
"As someone who's never been afraid to speak their mind, I'm delighted to be joining the team at TalkTV for Friday Night with Nadine, where I'll be putting my 23 year political career and experiences at the despatch box to good use," she said.
"Boris Johnson continues to dominate so much of the political narrative since his departure from No.10. Now's the time to find out what he really thinks about a whole range of pressing issues."
Richard Wallace, head of TV at News Broadcasting, added: "Nadine has a unique voice in British politics and will bring that unique voice to our air.
"She has had a seat at the top table of British politics during extraordinary times; knows all the key players and has true insight into how the corridors of power actually work. And, as a former nurse, she's one of very few politicians to have held down a proper job and worried about paying the bills, so our audience will relish her take."
Friday Night With Nadine will begin on Friday, February 3 at 10pm on TalkTV.
