Penny Mordaunt MP out of Splash! after painful dive

There was disappointment at the pool and at the polls for MP Penny Mordaunt as she crashed out of ITV diving competition Splash! in spectacular style.

She mistimed her back somersault from 7.5m - twice - leaving reality television regular Dan Osborne and model Danielle Lloyd to sail through.

There were plenty of gasps as Mordaunt went for a fiendishly difficult dive from height.

But the MP for Portsmouth North, wearing a sparkling red one-piece, overcooked her entry and smacked the water.

Judges commended her have-a-go attitude but said the execution fell short.
