The former Speaker of the House of Commons and member of Parliament bragged about his skills to other contestants on the latest series of the hit reality show.

John Bercow, who is at the centre of a bullying scandal, refused to discuss the incident after answering the door at his townhouse in Battersea, south west London.

John Bercow, who was last week found by an independent panel to have bullied staff, was spoken to at the couples house in Battersea, south west London, in August last year.

Tory MP recalls John Bercow's 'appalling' behaviour as speaker Lord Lisvane started working in Parliament in 1972 and won the top post of clerk of the House of Commons in 2011. His experience is a powerful reminder that even someone at the pinnacle of their profession can suffer bullying. There is nothing unusual about MPs

John Bercow (pictured) somehow remains on this public institutions payroll for the time being, despite this weeks publication of a damning official report finding him to be a serial bully and liar.

David Leakey said John Bercow’s ‘lack of humility’ indicates a ‘total flaw in his personality’ and in his capacity to be a ‘leader of any sort’.

The former Speaker’s rages will resonate with so many who endure management by fear, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Royal Holloway and Birkbeck, both colleges of the University of London, are facing calls to remove John Bercow from his appointments at the institutions.

A report into accusations of bullying against John Bercow is problematic for British politics more widely.
