Nadine Dorries allowed back into the Tory party five months after swapping the Commons for the I'm A Celeb jungle Maverick MP has Tory whip restored after apologising for taking part in reality show Senior Tories feared she would defect to UK Independence Party Rift with Cameron and Osborne runs deep after calling them 'arrogant posh boys' Outspoken MP Nadine Dorries has been returned to Tory party ranks in the Commons, five months after being suspended for taking part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here. The Mid-Bedfordshire MP met with chief whip Sir George Young late this afternoon, where she apologised for swapping Westminster for the Australian jungle, the Conservative party said. David Cameron had made clear that if she failed to show any remorse she would be barred from taking the Tory whip on a permanent basis. Mid-Bedfordshire MP Nadine Dorries has returned to Tory party ranks in the Commons, five months after being suspended for taking part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here Ms Dorries tweeted that she had been resored to the party whip Just last month she said her suspension was 'getting a bit silly' after spending months speaking and voting as a Tory MP, with the backing of many local party associations. 'I have never been more popular on the rubber chicken circuit,' she added. The meeting with Sir George was described as 'convivial'. Mrs Dorries said of having the whip restored today: 'I am delighted. It is long overdue. She later tweeted: 'My whip has been restored with no conditions other than those which apply to any party MP. Work continues as normal. The decision to restore the Tory whip sparked fresh speculation that she was planning to defect to the UK Independence Party. Nadine Dorries has repeatedly criticised David Cameron and George Osborne, which played a part in their reluctant to welcome her back to the Tory fold. Her criticism and outspoken remarks include: March 2012: On Cameron and Osborne's benefits changes: 'The problem is that policy is being run by two public schoolboys who don't know what it's like to go to the supermarket and have to put things back on the shelves because they can't afford it for their children's lunchboxes. What's worse, they don't care, either' April 2012: 'Not only are Cameron and Osborne two posh boys who don't know the price of milk, but they are two arrogant posh boys who show no remorse, no contrition, and no passion to want to understand the lives of others - and that is their real crime' May 2012: 'In order for David Cameron's position as leader to be challenged, the chairman of the committee needs to receive 46 signatures from Conservative MPs... I would guess that those signatures are already coming in and will reach 46 by Christmas November 2011: On taking part in I'm A Celeb: 'If that is where sixteen million people are, it's where politicians need to be too' December 2012: 'I long for the day Boris Johnson is Prime Minister. He is a good man and a hero of mine, and he can reach people other politicians can't' January 2013: On talk Tory MP Adam Afriye was gearing up to challenge Mr Cameron: 'He has got leadership potential' March 2013: 'We need a change of direction. I think if these polls stay like this and we did badly in the May elections I think Cameron and Osborne will be forced to change direction 'It was the threat that she might have defected to UKIP after the local elections which seems to have spooked the party leadership into reinstating Dorries, rather than this being the right thing to do,' The Spectator reported. However, UKIP leader Nigel Farage had been cool on the idea, until last week when he heaped praise on her. As local election results came in, Mr Farage said: Cameron has been stupid enough to take her whip away. But the truth is that the Conservative Party has a major problem with C1 and C2 working class voters and they are coming to us in droves. The fact is that she represents a strain of working class Tory that seem to be coming across to Ukip in large numbers. Nadine is one of a handful of Conservatives in the Commons from a Northern working class background. Of course we would talk to her. Why wouldn't we? If she decided she wanted to come to us it would be their loss and our gain. She was suspended from the Tory party in late November after flying to Australia. She claimed to have had permission to take time off from Westminster from then-Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell but admitted she did not tell him it was to take part in the show. Before returning to Britain in a storm of media publicity, she claimed her critics were the 'jobless and the more ambitious' female MPs who were 'jealous' of her exposure. She also branded critics within her party of her decision to be the first serving MP to appear on I'm A Celebrity as 'infantile and stupid'. Defending her decision to take part in the show she claimed she would be able to reach an audience of millions, discussing important policy issues like lowering the abortion limit. Instead she was pictured performing jokes with Linda Robson from Birds of a Feather and eating camel toe and ostrich anus in a challenge against ex-Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan. Senior Tory sources said repeated attempts have been made in recent months to persuade her to rejoin the party, but she repeatedly spoke out against government policy. A Conservative party spokesman said: 'The Chief Whip has restored the whip to Nadine Dorries with immediate effect for the start of the new parliamentary session. Nadine has apologised to the Chief Whip for absenting herself from her parliamentary duties without permission and has given assurances to the Whips Office that she will follow the same procedure as other Conservative Members of Parliament before going away when the House is sitting. Ms Dorries won a Bushtucker Trial against Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan, which involved eating ostrich anus She was subjected to several Bush Tucker trials, including being buried in a coffin with bugs She famously accused Mr Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne of being ' two posh boys who don't know the price of milk'. She has also called several times for Boris Johnson to become Prime Minister. 'He is a good man and a hero of mine, and he can reach people other politicians can't,' she said last year. I do believe this will happen, and that he will be Prime Minister. If he doesn't it might be the day I consider giving up being an MP.' The move comes after Budge Wells, her local party chairman, suggested she could win the Mid Bedfordshire seat if she stood as a UKIP candidate. 'She has a good following in a significant part of the constituency,' Mr Wells told The Times. For years relations between Mrs Dorries and Mr Cameron have been dire. Her plain-speaking and working-class credentials went down badly with the Tory party machine. The Prime Minister was widely criticised in 2011 when he described her as 'frustrated' to great howls of laughter in the Commons. Relations between David Cameron and Mrs Dorries have been fraught for years, including this moment in 2011 when he described her as 'frustrated' in the Commons At Prime Minister's Questions she urged him to show Deputy PM Nick Clegg 'who's the boss'. But amid laughter from Labour MPs he stumbled over his answer: 'I know that the honourable Lady is extremely frustrated about the... perhaps I should start all over again... I am going to give up on this one.
