Ms de Lucy raised concerns about Ms Dorries becoming the latest Tory to join Reform.
The former MEP added: “She's not got a position in the centre of power. She is just a member. She has just defected and changed her membership.
“I definitely have concerns because I don't want Boris anywhere near Reform, but I don't think it's going to go that way.
