According to the Daily Telegraph, the deputy Conservative Party chairman, who has a long-term partner but is not married, finished the affair in May after a couple of months.
"What I did was wrong, and I feel ashamed," the MP for Harlow said in a statement. "I am not proud of myself. The most important thing to me is to continue to repair my relationship with my partner."
