Former health secretary Matt Hancock has announced he will be joining the cast of ITV show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! He has been suspended as a Conservative MP as a result, but what are the thoughts of his West Suffolk constituents?
“I’m absolutely outraged,” says Richard Patey, reacting to Mr Hancock swapping Westminster for eating bugs – and various animal parts – in the Australian jungle.
The 42-year-old, who lives in Red Lodge, says: “He’s supposed to be serving as my local MP.
“Given the complete mess he and his party have got this country in, he should be in Westminster and his constituency to fix all the problems were are now facing, and not attention-seeking on national TV.”
Mr Patey says he never normally watches the ITV reality show, but is urging his fellow West Suffolk constituents to “vote for Matt for every challenge”.
