6:27Now PlayingAnn Widdecombe revealed a senior person from 10 Downing Street called her to offer her a job in the government's Brexit negotiating team if she stood down as a Brexit Party candidate.
Nigel Farage's party will not be putting candidates up in Conservative-held seats, but will be going for Labour-held marginals in Leave-voting areas.
Many Conservatives are urging the Brexit Party candidates to stand down - and Ms Widdecombe revealed she was forced to reject an offer of a major job after the election.
She said: "I received a call from Number 10 and I was offered 'a role in the negotiations' if I stood down.
"No offer could ever be made to anybody without it being sanctioned. You can't have individuals going off on their own and offering things.
"I told them, you can't flatter me and butter me up now.
