Guest tv tanned Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Well, not yet, but who knows...Former Coronation Street hunk Adam Rickitt has made it on to a list of candidates to become a Tory MP, the party has confirmed. Rickitt, a gay icon, is hoping to become a Member of Parliament at the next general election after Tory officials put him on the list of hopefuls. He will now have to apply to Tory associations in individual constituencies in the hope of securing a vacant seat to fight the next election. A Conservative Party spokeswoman said: "Adam Rickitt is on our list of candidates." Blond Rickitt, 27, played Weatherfield's floppy-haired heart-breaker Nick Tilsley. The young star became a gay icon, sharing the soap's first gay kiss with Todd Grimshaw, played by co-star Bruno Langley. He spent 15 months on the soap before leaving in 1999, but his bid for a career in pop music fell flat. Rickitt has appeared in gay magazine Attitude. He is currently mountain-climbing in South America and unavailable for comment. He returned to the Street in July 2002 for a short visit and reprised his role as Nick Tilsley to attend the wedding of his mother Gail Platt to new Street villain Richard Hillman. While in Weatherfield, hairdresser Maria Sutherland caught his eye and they were soon involved in a passionate relationship. Privately-educated Rickitt, who attended Kingsmead Prep School on the Wirral, then Sedbergh School in Cumbria, finished his education with four A-Levels and worked as a model before passing his audition for Coronation Street.

Sam the Eagle Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 if he's gonna do it, he'd better learn from other mp's mistakes and come out before he takes office he'll just end up having a kiss and tell story in the papers and have to resign otherwise...although in reality what's the point of becoming a tory mp, you're never gonna get any real power...
