Scarlette then said on her Instagram: “Get him on Strictly!!!”

It comes after Matt announced he won’t be standing for the Conservatives in the next general election.

In a letter to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Matt said it has been an “honour” to serve as the MP for West Suffolk but he now wants “to do things differently”.

He said: “I am incredibly grateful for the loyal members of my team in Suffolk, in Parliament, in Government, and in the NHS who helped make all this possible.

“I am proud to have supported you to become Prime Minister and wish you the best in facing the challenges ahead.”

Matt added: “I want to do things differently. I have discovered a whole new world of possibilities which I am excited to explore.

“New ways for me to communicate with people of all ages and from all backgrounds.

“It has been an honour to serve in Parliament and represent the people of West Suffolk.

“I will play my part in the debate about the future of our country and engage with the public in new ways.”
