Princess Beatrice of York and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in Greece (Image: Getty)Chief whip Simon Hart said: “Following a conversation with Matt Hancock, I have considered the situation and believe this is a matter serious enough to warrant suspension of the whip with immediate effect.”One Tory MP described Mr Hancock as an “absolute prat”, while there was also anger in his constituency Tory association.But he was also facing scrutiny over whether he upheld the rules on taking on work within two years of leaving office.Mr Hancock did not seek advice from the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (Acoba) before agreeing to the appearance, the PA news agency reports.Lord Pickles, the Conservative chair of the anti-corruption watchdog which advises on post-ministerial jobs, is expected to write to Mr Hancock to demand clarification.Under the rules, Mr Hancock should seek clearance from Acoba for any new employment or appointments he takes on until until June next year.A spokesman for Mr Hancock said the guidance “was followed in good faith”, adding: “The Acoba website clearly states that it does not regard media appearances as an appointment or employment.”However, the website only says that “one-off” activities are not applicable and states any “longer term arrangement” requires a request to Acoba.Depending on how he fairs during public votes, Mr Hancock could remain in the jungle for weeks.I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! begins on Sunday November 6 at 9pm on ITV.
