Conservative MP Nadine Dorries has told how her working class roots in Liverpool left her "rooted in reality".

The colourful MP, who represents mid-Bedforshire, has written a novel inspired by her experiences of life in Anfield in the 1950s.

Dorries, who famously appeared on ITV's I'm a Celebrity, returned to the streets of her youth - and the home of Liverpool FC - with Granada's political correspondent Daniel Hewitt.
