"On Monday night, Newsnight held a seemingly genuine debate where 6 “members of the public” were invited onto the show to confront MPs with their questions about Theresa May’s Brexit deal.
One member of this supposedly “public” panel was a woman dressed as a vicar, who called herself Lynn.
During the Newsnight segment, Lynn repeatedly declared her undying support for Theresa May’s proposed Brexit deal – a clip widely publicised by the official BBC Newsnight Twitter account:
"The reason they are sitting there is that they know far more about what's going on then we do. I've been a Conservative all my life and I back Prime Minister May."

Lynn also appeared on an edition of Newsnight on Friday 23rd November (which you can view in full here), along with the same other 5 “members of the public”, again dressed in full vicar garb.
On both appearances, Lynn was the only panel member who was completely supportive of Theresa May’s Brexit deal.
Yes, “Lynn” is not an ordinary member of the public at all. Nor is she a genuine Vicar. She is, in fact, an actor – and not only that, she has previously worked as a minor cast member on numerous BBC programmes.
Lynn’s full name is Lynn Marina Hayter, and uses her middle name for her acting work.
Lynn’s past acting work includes playing a Drunkard on the BBC show Eastenders, playing a “Theatre goer” on the BBC show The Dresser, playing a female beggar in the BBC programme Dickensian, and was cast as a nurse in the BBC show The Chronicles.
Whilst Lynn is not a genuine vicar, she does regularly attend church. However, the church in question is her own.
Yes, in addition to being a BBC actor, Lynn is also the creator of the “Seeds For Wealth Ministries”, who describe themselves as a religious organisation who can help you:
“realize, release and walk into your financial freedom in Christ. To Educate, Equip and Empower the saints.”
Perhaps this is all above board.
