A cleaner at the Houses of Parliament was sacked after it emerged she was secretly working 17-hour days at two jobs for 16 years.

Mulikat Ogumodede worked day shifts at Deutsche Bank and night shifts at Westminster five days a week between 2008 to 2024.

The mother was accused of 'deliberately' failing to tell her bosses, who were shocked to find out she worked from 8am to 5pm at the bank before completing 10pm to 6am shifts at the Houses of Parliament.

When details of her working day emerged, Ms Ogumodede was made redundant from Parliament because she had been working in breach of the laws around working time limits.

The 'prized' cleaner sued her employers for unfair dismissal but a judge has since dismissed all of her claims, stating her removal from the position was 'clearly fair'.
