Speaking to the BBC in his first broadcast interview about his involvement, Mr Wragg said he spotted the first news articles about the Westminster honeytrap scandal on the train. The former Conservative Party whip told the broadcaster: “My stomach just dropped. Mr Wragg agreed, which is what he feels “the most regret for” as it was “deceitful”. Not long after he was allegedly blackmailed, Mr Wragg began to have panic attacks, with bouts of yelling, crying, and swearing shocking his sleeping flatmates. Shortly after receiving the appropriate medical attention, he returned to Westminster to resign as Conservative whip and from his posts on two parliamentary committees.
