Our future Member of Parliament in London is a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother.

George Galloway plumbed new depths when he pretended to be a cat as part of a task set for him during his appearance ...

He further angered conservative Muslims, who make up the bulk of his support, when he told his housemates, including glamour models, entertainers and minor pop stars, that his favourite pursuits were sex and sunbathing.
