90s hit owes its success to former Conservative politician

It's not every day that you hear about a former politician claiming to have influenced a hit song, but that's exactly the situation with former Tory MP Liam Fox and Natalie Imbruglia's iconic 90s hit, "Torn." The 62-year-old ex-Defence Secretary recently revealed that he played a role in the success of the timeless banger, even earning a credit on Imbruglia's 1997 album, "Left of the Middle."

During an appearance on Iain Dale's show on LBC, Fox was asked by a listener if he had ever dated Imbruglia, to which he responded in typical politician fashion, "Well, I would say that if you need to know that, you probably require a level of therapy." He then went on to confirm that they were indeed "very good friends" and that he had helped her choose "Torn" as a single.

But Fox is not the only public figure rumored to have a romantic history with the former "Neighbours" actress. DIY SOS's Nick Knowles also claimed to have had a "thing" with her when they were "friends" at the G8 summit in Edinburgh. Imbruglia has set the record straight on these rumors, stating that they were just friends and that she has never dated any of the famous men she's been linked to.

Despite the speculation surrounding her personal life, Imbruglia has continued to find success in her career. She first rose to fame in the 90s with hits like "Torn" and "Shiver," and she is still performing today. In fact, she recently performed at Shania Twain's headline set at BST Hyde Park and will be touring as the support act for The Corrs.

It's clear that Imbruglia's career has stood the test of time, and many fans are amazed by her "ageless" appearance. This throwback picture of her with Victoria Beckham in the 90s is a testament to her enduring beauty and talent.

As for Fox, he may want to consider a return to music as his professional life has taken a hit. He lost his seat as North Somerset MP in the General Election, adding to the Tory bloodbath. But one thing is for sure, both Fox and Imbruglia will always have a special connection through the success of "Torn."
