Penny Mordaunt's campaign to lead the Conservative Party got off to a tricky start as she was forced to relaunch her video - without an appearance from Oscar Pistorius.
The Trade minister has been touted as a leadership candidate for several months, before Boris Johnson made a 'resignation' speech last week.
She released a slick three minute video today as other candidates Tom Tugendhat began interviews on Sunday morning shows.
It featured appearances from Boris Johnson, the late Labour MP Jo Cox and British sports star Jonnie Peacock winning gold at London 2012 Olympics.
In Mr Peacock's race, Oscar Pistorious was captured grinning - the race took place two years before he was found guilty of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
She concluded the video saying: “Our leadership has to change.
"It needs to become a little less about the leader and a lot more about the ship.”
As her video began to go viral, the Paralympian insisted she remove his race from her video.
He tweeted: "I official request to be removed from this video... anything but blue please."
On her campaign website, pm4pm, the Brexit-backing trade minister said the Tories were elected to “deliver a manifesto”.
Ms Mordaunt played a prominent role in the Leave campaign in the 2016 referendum, and has previously reportedly enjoyed the backing of Dame Andrea Leadsom among others.
Her video follows Rishi Sunak's bid to "restore trust" in politics.
In a swanky three minute video, the former Chancellor appeals to the public, describing how his parents arrived in Britain full of hope.
“My family gave me opportunities they could only dream of. But it was Britain, our country, that gave them and millions like them the chance of a better future," he says in the video.
“I got into politics because I want everyone in this country to have those same opportunities, to be able to give their children a better future.
“Our country faces huge challenges, the most serious for a generation. And the decisions we make today will decide whether the next generation of British people will also have the chance of a better future.”
