London, Sept. 15 Reuters : Nadine Dorries, a successful author and one-time reality TV star, was named on Wednesday as Britain's new media minister, overseeing culture, premier league football and tech deals.
Dorries is a prolific writer who has produced a number of books, including a fictional trilogy that tells the stories of several families living in Liverpool, where she grew up in English
The competition regulator has already said the purchase from Japan's Softbank could damage competition and weaken rivals, and requires a further lengthy investigation.
Her predecessor Oliver Dowden had been due to say whether the politically sensitive deal would also impact national security.
Dorries, a former nurse, became a lawmaker in 2005 and previously worked as a junior health minister. She has been willing to attack the so-called culture wars in Britain in recent years, attacking left wing snowflakes she think make the world a culturally poorer place.
In 2012, she appears on the reality show Get Me Out Of Here, but was the first contestant who was voted off the show.
Dorries was suspended from the Conservative Party before the reality event went on air after she was accused of flying to Australia to take part in the show without asking permission from her party.
