 Matt Hancock has insisted that people will see the 'human side' to him on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! ahead of his controversial arrival. It was reported on Tuesday that the former health secretary would soon be entering camp along with comedian Seann Walsh as late arrivals, just one day after Love Island star Olivia Attwood was forced to quit. At the end of tonight's show, presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly teased Mr Hancock's appearance, before a teaser clip played. 'When I'm in camp, people will see the real me,' Mr Hancock declared. 'Survival in the jungle is a good metaphor for my work. 'People will see me warts and all, see the human side of the guy behind the podium. I don't think I've got any fears or phobias, but I'm about to find out.' © Provided by Metro Mr Hancock's official I'm A Celebrity photo is here (Picture: ITV) Yes, although this really does feel like an episode of Black Mirror, this is actually happening. Unsurprisingly, Mr Hancock's upcoming stint in the jungle is already marred in controversy. He was immediately suspended from the Tory party following his decision to join the reality series, and also came under fire by politicians for choosing to take part when Parliament is sitting. Thousands have also signed a petition calling for Mr Hancock to be axed from the show. Despite plenty of people up in arms over his signing, I'm A Celebrity's executive producer Olly Nash defended the decision, saying: 'It's always an individual's choice to come into camp, isn't it? © Provided by Metro Comedian Seann Walsh will also be joining camp as a latecomer (Picture: ITV) 'And at any point, any celebrity can say I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. So that's the only thing really to add. I think.' He added to The Mirror: 'Nobody has to do the show in the same way and nobody has to stay in camp and nobody has to do a trial.
