High Peak Liberal DemocratsLABOUR bosses were slammed last night for parachuting in a sexy TV host to fight a safe seat.
Busty former GMTV political correspondent Gloria De Piero, 37, beat a series of local candidates to the nomination.
But constituency rivals questioned whether she can win over voters in Ashfield, Notts - and accused Labour of taking locals for granted.
Lib Dem Stuart Bray said: "She was born in Bradford and lives in London. She can't pretend to understand the issues Ashfield faces."
But Miss De Piero - a favourite of Tony Blair and who once beat Kate Moss in a sexiest women poll - said: "I'll live in the constituency and listen to the voters."
Departing MP Geoff Hoon, the ex-Defence Secretary, was voted in at Ashfield with a 10,000 majority in 2005.
