Former health secretary Matt Hancock has been confirmed for this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity, resulting in the sitting MP having the Conservative whip taken off him
Matt Hancock has had his Tory whip suspended as he was confirmed as an additional campmate for this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
The Conservative Party suspended the whip after it emerged the self-promoting former Health Secretary – who has a book due out – will be flying to Australia for the ITV hit show.
Days after being snubbed for a Cabinet comeback by Rishi Sunak, the sitting MP is set to join Boy George, Chris Moyles and Olivia Attwood after signing up to the show at the last minute. He will make a donation to his local St Nicholas Hospice in Suffolk from his ITV earnings.
After he has battled Bushtucker trials involving animal genitals and creepy crawlies, Hancock could possibly be voted out of the competition… or go on win the title of King of the Jungle.
