Interesting news about our Penny.
I suppose in for a penny in for a pound. and hope for the best.
So, what else do we know about her?
In an eclectic pre-politics career, she worked as a magician's assistant, in hospitals and orphanages in post-Communist Romania, and for the Freight Transport Association.
She headed the Conservative Party's youth wing and was a press officer for William Hague when he was leader.
But she is probably best known outside Westminster for taking part in ITV's celebrity diving show Splash! in 2014.
Moving onto her political career, under David Cameron she was armed forces minister. She then became the first woman to serve as defence secretary under Theresa May, but was sacked after a few months when Boris Johnson took over as PM.
His wife I guess did not want them in the same room.
