Former Conservative Minister Dame Andrea Jenkyns has claimed many of her lines on the BBC show Have I Got News For You were cut out of the final programme.

Speaking on GB News Dame Andrea Jenkyns said: “You each go on stage separately and I got booed initially, and the warm it act, I think, was then trying to encourage them to clap. So they did then clap me.

“So I knew it was going to be not an easy ride, but I'm not complaining. It was quite a fun show to do.

“But I think clearly even if it's not selected, I think certain people politically want to go on BBC shows in the audience. I think more likely it attracts left wing people anyway."
