Jacob Rees-Mogg has hinted at a dramatic return to politics on the back of his fly-on-the-wall family documentary series.

Less than five months after spectacularly losing his North East Somerset seat, the former Tory minister, who once reportedly considered a bid to become party leader, will soon appear in the Discovery+ reality show, Meet The Rees-Moggs.

It marks a stark change in direction for the arch-Brexiteer who invited cameras into his 17th-century Somerset mansion, Gourney Court, to document his apparent family life with wife Helena and their six children in the run-up to the general election.

Despite the first step into reality television and the end to his 14-year stint as a Tory MP, the divisive figure revealed he would like to return to Parliament.

Speaking during an interview with comedian Matt Forde ahead of the show last night, the GB News presenter discussed everything from abuse on the campaign trail to his fondness for Greggs’ cream buns.
