Tory MP Nadine Dorries was forced to apologise to the Commons for failing to properly register her media earnings, including any fee received for her appearance on ITV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
In a short personal statement she told MPs she apologised "fully and unreservedly for what was a genuinely inadvertent breach of the rules".
The Commons Standards Committee found that she should have declared earnings for media work channelled through Averbrook Ltd, of which she is a director.
The committee was also critical of her for failing to co-operate fully with an investigation by Parliamentary Standards Commissioner Kathryn Hudson.
Ms Dorries refused to disclose how much she was paid for her appearance on the jungle-based reality show in November last year, claiming it would breach a confidentiality clause in the ITV contract.
The committee said that Ms Dorries should properly register all payments, whether they were to Averbrook or any other third party, and apologise to the House.
