As one of the new intake of MPs in this Parliament, Johnny Mercer will be full of ambition for the five years ahead. However, judging by a video he appeared in ahead of the election, one of his aims appears to be achieving a high ranking on the Sexy MP website.
Mercer has a starring role in a Dove Men shower gel advert which is currently being broadcast in America. While the video includes a scene in which he appears topless in the shower, the film is family friendly with the MP for Plymouth Moor View’s six-year-old daughter also appearing on camera.
Mercer is taking his new found fame in his stride. ‘When they asked me, I thought “Why not, it will be a laugh”,’ he told the Plymouth Herald. ‘It was really fun. They sent me and the girls to London for three days.’ Of course now that Mercer is an elected member of Parliament, he gets to go to London without having to strip off.
