Ann Widdecombe gives final TV interview day before her death | News

Ann Widdecombe defended Nigel Farage’s re-election bid in Clacton as “the right path to take” in her final TV interview just a day before her death at 78.

The former Conservative minister, who is a member of Reform England, was found with “serious injuries” at his home in Dartmoor, Devon, on Thursday morning (9 July).

Devon and Cornwall Police have since launched a murder investigation.

Appearing on Talk TV on Wednesday, July 8, the former MP defended the Reform UK leader’s decision to step down as an MP in his latest TV programme.

“This is a very determined man,” she said, adding that she believed he “took matters into his own hands.”
