BOLTON MP Ruth Kelly has joined an elite band of politicians lampooned by the comedy writers.

The writing team at TV comedy sketch show, Dead Ringers featured her in their last episode.

The comedians had Miss Kelly portrayed as a 1950s public schoolboy, complete with uniform and cap, being interviewed by Andrew Neil on his Daily Politics show.

He was questioning the spoof Miss Kelly and she was denying school meals were being changed because of Jamie Oliver's television programme.

The BBC says the schoolboy Miss Kelly may appear again in future Dead Ringers sketches but, as it is a topical show, they cannot say when.

The last show in the current series will be shown on BBC Two on Thursday at 9pm and Saturday at 11.25pm.

Miss Kelly was not available for comment.
