Former Justice Secretary David Gauke is another big name to lose his seat overnight.

He had been a Tory and a major part of both David Cameron's and Theresa May's government.

But he was another rebel booted out by Boris Johnson for trying to stop a no-deal Brexit in the Commons earlier this year.

He ran as an independent in his seat of Hertfordshire South West and gained a lot of praise for his amusing Twitter videos throughout the campaign.

However, it wasn't enough, and while he secured almost 16,000 votes, his Tory successor, Gagan Mohindra, took more than 30,000.

Conservative Gagan Mohindra has held the seat of South West Hertfordshire, despite a challenge from former Tory MP for the seat David Gauke, who had the whip removed after he voted against the government.
