Ah, Adam Rickitt didn't make it :-(

From the Telegraph:

Adam Rickitt, one of the most controversial members of David Cameron's priority list of prospective MPs, has failed in his first attempt to be accepted as a Conservative candidate.

Mr Rickitt, 28, a former member of the cast of the television soap opera Coronation Street, did not make a shortlist of 20 hopefuls for Folkestone and Hythe, the seat being vacated by Michael Howard, the former Tory leader, at the next election.
