London, Feb 7 : Nadine Dorries, MP for Mid Bedfordshire, who lived on benefits in a council flat for a TV show, was caught hiding cash in her bra.

The controversial MP was sent to stay with jobless sisters Rena and Renisha Spaine at the two-bed flat they share with their eight kids.

The social experiment by a Channel 4 reality television show was designed to help MPs understand how poorer sections of society live, reports the Telegraph.

On the show, the leaders are asked to survive for a week while spending no more than 64.30 pounds - a week''s job seekers'' allowance.
