Ann Widdecombe was toasted by her housemates as she jumped into the hot tub for a late night dip on Celebrity Big Brother.

The former Conservative MP sipped on a drink as she threw caution to the wind to join Wayne Sleep, Ashley James and Amanda Barrie in the pool.

Widdecombe was talking to the trio in her nightgown, asking: “Are you really going to stay put there in this?”

Sleep asked: “Are you going to come in?”

To their shock, Widdecombe branded them “blithering idiots” before throwing off her clothes and jumping in.

Keen to mark the moment, Sleep raised a toast. He said: “Toast to Ann Widdecombe because it takes a lot for a girl like that who is stubborn about etiquette and undress to do such a thing.”

Shane Jenek ran to the bedroom to change after he came out of the Diary Room to find Widdecombe taking a dip.

The Ru Paul’s Drag Race star made sure to respect Widdecombe’s views on decorum and donned a pair of swimming trunks.

Elsewhere in the show, Jenek and Barrie put their differences behind them after Barrie jumped in to defend Widdecombe after she came to blows with the Australian star over LGBT legislation.

Barrie and Jenek will face the public vote tomorrow night ahead of Friday’s grand final.

Celebrity Big Brother is on Channel 5, tonight at 9pm
