NADINE Dorries has called Nicola Sturgeon “chippy Nicky” in the bizarre debut of her new chat show on Talk TV.
During the programme, which heavily featured an interview with Boris Johnson, Dorries asked the former prime minister who he would rather be stuck in a lift with: Keir Starmer or Nicola Sturgeon.
He replied: “It’s like all these things, and I’m sure the viewers would understand, both individuals are actually far nicer and more amusing than you might otherwise imagine.
“Provided it wasn’t fifty floors, I wouldn’t mind either.”
However, while Johnson did not provide a specific opinion on Scotland’s First Minister, Dorries took her own opportunity to do so.

After Boris Johnson had revealed that his favourite pastime was drawing cows, Dorries forced her in-studio guests – journalists Sebastian Payne and Charlotte Ivers and former Labour adviser Scarlett Maguire – to mimic his pastime by drawing some of the bovine figures themselves.
During the segment Maguire said that she wouldn’t mind being stuck in a lift with Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer or Nicola Sturgeon.
In response, Nadine Dorries said: “Well one is very charming, one is super intelligent and one is just chippy. Chippy Nicky.”
The show also hinted at Dorries desire to receive a nomination to the House of Lords when producers brought a bottle of wine onto the set.
A close-up revealed it to be a £27 bottle of Rupert & Rothschild’s Baroness Nadine chardonnay.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
