Bye bye to reality TV

She has since appeared on various other TV shows such as Celebs Go Dating and Hey Traceybut has most recently revealed that she is ready to put her small screen roots to rest. Speaking to The Sun on what the future holds for her career, Hart explained that the most important and gratifying thing for her about working in politics is the ability to help others—to make their lives easier. She said:

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. I have a nice life now, I earn good money. I don’t need to get into politics but I would love to.

And added:

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.

Making politics more accessible

She also said that she would like to be able to make politics more accessible to younger generations. The budding politician explained that she plans on bridging that gap by writing a book. She said:

I’d love to write a book about politics for the Love Island generation. A lot of people think that politics doesn’t concern their lives so making it easier to digest is important.

Before adding:

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.
