Youngest MP Mhairi lands cop role in TV drama

Excited... Ms Black thrilled at TV role

Ms Black has largely turned her back on politics since stepping down as an MP. Instead, she has ventured into entertainment.

Now she has joined the cast of TV series Counsels in which she will play a police detective.
