Ann Widdecombe is set to talk about her life and take questions from the public in 'an audience with' charity event.

The former Conservative Maidstone and the Weald MP who rose to the rank of shadow home secretary will be appearing at the St Thomas of Canterbury Roman Catholic Church, Burgate, Canterbury on Saturday, May 19 from seven to 10pm.

The controversial ex-politician will be giving insights into her childhood in Singapore, her student life, political career, as well as sharing experiences from television after competing on Strictly Come Dancing and living in the Big Brother house.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to buy personally signed copies of Mrs Widdecombe's books.

Raffle tickets and refreshments will be available to purchase on the night with all proceeds going directly to the Kent MS Therapy Centre.

Tickets costing £15 are still available for the event and can be purchased at the centre or paid for over the phone on 01227 470876.
