Ann Widdecombe has been signed up by The Guardian as an agony aunt.
The Tory MP will write a weekly column in G2 from Monday called Buck Up, in which she will dispense “no-nonsense, common sense advice”.
Features editor Ian Katz said: “Ann has all the ingredients to be a brilliant agony aunt – oodles of common sense, huge experience and a healthy contempt for self-obsessed whingers.”
