The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards is currently conducting the probe, .

Mr Griffiths, who quit the Government after his sexting past was revealed in July, could be temporarily banned from sitting as an MP.

If he gets a ban of ten days or more, voters in his Burton constituency will have the chance to kick him out of office.

Such a long ban would trigger a "recall petition", with a by-election taking place if 10 per cent of local voters sign it.

It's claimed the married Tory minister demanded explicit photos and videos from two barmaids he met on social media, and described degrading sex acts in crude detail.

Mr Griffiths, who became a father in April, allegedly sent barmaid Imogen Treharne, 28, and her pal £700 and offered to rent a flat to meet for sex.

Amongst the reported messages, it's claimed the MP wrote: “Take off the bra and panties… you’ve got Daddy in such a frenzy" and "Daddy is going to have to put some manners on you".

In other messages, it's alleged he told the girls: "I had a **** who I made dress up like a pig - piggy nose, ears, ****pig written across her forehead and a piggy tail".

It's also reported he boasted about being powerful in politics and told the girls: "I can be an evil ******* when I’m turned on.”

He said he was "deeply ashamed" at his behaviour and vowed to seek professional help.
