A Tory candidate who boasted of being a clergyman's daughter starred in a film which saw her ride a man like a pantomime horse - while he wore a cowboy hat.

Joy Morrissey is the Conservative candidate in ultra marginal seat of Ealing and Acton.

But before she dreamed of sitting on the leather benches in the House of Commons, the parliamentary hopeful worked a as a small-time actress.

Her biggest role was as the co-star in the low budget comedy 'bonk fest' Geek Mythology.

A mix between American Pie and a Carry On film, Geek Mythology focuses on a man's varied attempts to have sex.

Released in 2008, it is subtitled 'It is hard to keep it in his pants'.

Appearing under the name Joy Boden, Mrs Morrissey starred as Renee - the love interest who becomes the object of the male lead’s mystical sexual powers.

Last week, the 36-year-old Mrs Morrisey told London’s Evening Standard her father is a clergyman in Ohio, prompting the paper to brand her the “other Vicars daughter” in reference to Theresa May’s childhood.

But in 2008, American-born Mrs Morrisey's career was far from the world of British politics.

Co-starring in the sexually charged comedy, Mrs Morrisey appears in a basque and rides a man wearing a cowboy hat.

Conservative high command is throwing everything at Mrs Morrissey’s campaign to unseat Labour incumbent Rupa Huq.

On the day of her U-turn on the Dementia Tax, Theresa May paid the former film actress’ campaign a visit.

Mrs Morrissey had a short career on the silver screen. After her performance in Geek Mythology she went on to appear in just one more film - co-starring in 2009’s Only One Can Play.

Speaking to The Mirror, Geek Mythology’s director Phil Hwang said that he was surprised that the aspiring starlet is now running for Parliament.

"Joy acted in my ultra low budget film Geek Mythology for a handful of days,” he said.

"Outside of that, we haven't had any interaction which is sort of the nature of filmmaking.

"I thought she was extraordinarily bright and articulate and that she would do extremely well in whatever she pursued.

"While I'm surprised she ended up running for political office in England, I'm very confident Joy Morrisey is up to the task.”

Geek Mythology is available to stream on Amazon Prime.

But user reviews suggest you might want to give it a miss.

One user describes it as a "low budget flopper" saying it is worthy of "being flushed down the toilet".

The Mirror contacted Mrs Morrisey and the Conservative Party for comment multiple times but neither replied.
