Ann transformed her image when she moved from the floor of the House of Commons to the shiny floor of Strictly Come Dancing. Her faith has gone through a dramatic change, too; she became a high-profile convert to Catholicism after she became disillusioned with liberal reforms in the Anglican Church. Throughout it all, she spoke her mind, and does so again to Fern Britton.
