The reality star continued: "I think I could be a relatable MP – something a lot of them are not. I think integrity and compassion is missing in politics and I can bring that."

Hart went on to talk about how she hoped to champion for change with the new career move, saying: “I would love to help people change their life and to make things better for people rather than doing it for what I could gain out of it.

"I think a lot of people do it for personal gain sadly," she told the publication.

She revealed that she hopes to get younger audiences interested in the world of politics: “Many of my friends don’t vote as they think politics doesn’t concern them. I would love to educate people that it really does concern them.”
