"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Last month, The MP for Maidstone told the Independent on Sunday sport was in her DNA shortly after being promoted to the role of Sports Minister.

During her youth she showed sporting talent, becoming captain of the school tennis and hockey teams, and representing the county in hockey, tennis, athletics, and cross country, according to her Parliamentary website.

She later became under-16 judo champion in the north of England and southern Scotland, it said.

Mrs Grant said: "I wasn't told there was going to be a quiz thrown in at the end of an interview for local television at a grassroots sport event in my constituency on Saturday night.
