Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi plays himself in ITV drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office
Former cabinet minister Nadhim Zahawi made a surprise appearance in the ITV drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office.
The Tory MP, who is still serving, landed the role to play himself in the programme.
In a short clip, Mr Zahawi is seen questioning then-Post Office chief executive Paula Vennells in a 2015 Commons inquiry into the Horizon computer system.
The MP appears in the third episode of ITV’s four-part drama.
Mr Zahawi’s cameo sparked a number of comments on social media, with some describing his appearance as “odd”.
