Tan Dhesi is not your average MP. As the first Sikh to wear a turban in the Commons, he also claims to speak eight languages - and has even starred in a Punjabi pop video.
The 38-year-old said his heritage was “definitely a point of discussion” on the doorstep in Slough, where he turned a 7,000 Labour majority into 17,000 less than two weeks ago.
And his election was celebrated in his family's Punjabi village, where locals danced and handed out sweets.
I met him on his second day in Parliament, where he was navigating a mounting postbag and winding corridors with no office or staff.
While there have been Sikh MPs before, none are believed to have worn the turban in the Commons. At the same time as Mr Dhesi won his seat, voters elected the first ever female Sikh MP, Preet Gill in Birmingham Edgbaston.
