He's the Tory who suggested he got involved with Commons secretaries,shouted "bollocks" in Parliament and wants Donald Trump's hair.

Now MP Michael Fabricant has traumatised a no doubt grateful nation by riding naked through London... on a communal hire bike.

The Lichfield MP, 68, stripped off in aid of St Giles' Hospice on a Santander Cycle, better known as a Boris Bike.

In an area that looks suspiciously like London's Hyde Park, he was filmed with only a grey tie and a generous black modesty bar for cover.

Queen's Bicycle Race blares out during the clip as he rides in the sunshine, waving joyfully at passers-by.

He later tweeted: "I think I can say, without fear of contradiction, there is little more unpleasant than filming naked on a chilly spring morning without any clothes or a tan to make you look good."

Mr Fabricant pulled the stunt to encourage his constituents to do the same en-masse each year in aid of the hospice charity.

It cares for 7,000 people a year but costs £9million to run.

The MP claimed it would be a "beautiful thing and would uncover all sorts of parts I've never seen before".

Thankfully, the video shows him wiping down the saddle after he gets off.
