This is an item about Adam Rickitt You may think of him as a former Corrie star but if you do, try to recall his brief incarnation as a pop star. You remember. He did that video promo where he was naked in a glass box. Coming back to you? See.
So, you may be aware that Mr Rickitt now has political aspirations. It looks as though he may be in with a chance of actually getting somewhere because David Cameron has added his name to an 'A List' of Conservative candidates who will be put up in 'winnable' seats at the next general election. At the age of only 27, he's been selected ahead of people older - although not necessarily wiser - than him, such as "chick lit" novelist Louise Bagshawe and Margot James, the openly gay vice-chairman of the party.
Of course, his appearance on the shortlist has got nothing to do with him being a blonde pretty-boy. Party leader Cameron says: "This is not about appearance, this is not about political correctness. It is about being more effective. I want to make sure the conversation the Conservative party has in that building [parliament] among itself is like the conversation we need to have with the rest of the country".
