Dowden has been replaced by Nadine Dorries (pictured), an author and a Member of Parliament for Mid Bedfordshire since 2005. Dorries most recently served as Minister for Mental Health, Suicide Prevention and Patient Safety. But in a bizarre twist, she’s probably best known in the U.K. for a controversial 12-day stint on ITV’s reality juggernaut “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” in 2012.

Initiative aims to enable more people to join the film and TV industries.
Netflix and Warner Bros are to partner with UK industry body ScreenSkills on a pilot programme aimed at enabling more people to join the film and TV industries through an apprenticeship.
