Nadine Dorries admitted to sharing her Netflix account password with four other households in a bizarre Commons hearing.
The Culture Secretary said four other people including her mum have access to her account in breach of its terms and conditions.
Netflix prohibits users from password sharing. But she only learned of this today, speaking to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
She told MPs: "My mum has access to my account, the kids do.
"I have Netflix but there are four other people who can use my Netflix account in different parts of the country.”
Laughing, she added: “Am I not supposed to do that?”
The DCMS permanent secretary Sarah Healey, sitting next to her in front of MPs added: “So many people watch it in my house I had to pay for the more expensive one.”
Ms Healey reportedly later told the Culture Secretary password sharing was not allowed on the service.
The Commons committee also quizzed the Culture Secretary on the future of Channel 4 after the Government announced plans to go ahead with its privatisation.
Channel 4 is entirely funded by advertising and has been publicly owned since it was created in 1982 by Margaret Thatcher's government.
Ms Dorries also accused Channel 4 of hiring paid actors for a TV show that she appeared in when she had become an MP.
The show titled Tower Block of Commons, featured Ms Dorries living in an estate in West London who apparently smuggled in a £50 note, which she claimed was intended to buy gifts for the children of her hosts.
Now she expressed her beliefs that the show's produces were "actually paid actors".
“The parents of the boys in that programme actually came here to have lunch with me, and contacted me to tell me, actually, they were in acting school, and that they weren’t really living in a flat, and they weren’t real.
"And even, if you remember, there’s a pharmacist or somebody that I went to see who prepared food – she was also a paid actress as well.”
