Angry constituents lashed out at the politician for bunking off his Suffolk seat after The Sun exclusively revealed he will head into the jungle as a latecomer. West Suffolk locals have slammed their MP Matt Hancock for signing up to I'm A CelebrityCredit: Elliott Franks He'll join as a latecome in this year's line-up, which includes from left to right, Mike Tindall, Owen Warner, Olivia Attwood, Charlene White, Boy George, Scarlette Douglas, Sue Cleaver, Chris Moyles, Babatunde Aléshé and Jill Scott One local raged at the ex-Minister on Facebook: "How can you justify flying off to Australia to do a reality TV show when you are supposed to be here working for the constituents you represent? "You are an absolute disgrace." Another echoed: "Wasting time on I'm a celebrity instead of helping your constituents." And a third person scoffed at the news: "Time to bow out Hancock. Maybe start doing some TV adverts." Taking a break from Parliament to go on holiday, do a second job or appear on reality TV often draws criticism. This afternoon Mr Hancock had the Tory whip removed - which means he won't be able to vote in Parliament - and he has been slammed by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Others have called for the former Health Secretary to lose his MPs salary while he is in the jungle. However, there are no rules around taking time off or even any formal requirements for doing the job. MPs are not employees and they are free to spend as much or as little time in Parliament as they like. This means there is nothing stopping Matt from continuing to draw from his annual salary of £84,144 while on his sunshine break. As such, on top of his I'm A Celeb pay deal, if Ma){kind=link}
