ITV bosses have reportedly offered Boris Johnson a staggering £700,000 figure to appear on I’m A Celebrity following Matt Hancock’s success on the show last year – and we want to know YOUR take on the topic
Boris Johnson has reportedly held talks with ITV bosses about starring on I’m A Celebrityâ¦Get Me Out Of Here! – and we want to know what YOU think of the news.
The former prime minister is rumoured to be pushing for a deal that would dwarf the £320,000 paid to fellow Tory MP Matt Hancock last year. Hancock had the Tory whip suspended after it emerged that he was entering the jungle, and the politician faced backlash from Conservative MPs and his constituency party over his taking part.
Tory chief whip Simon Hart said he believed the matter was “serious enough to warrant suspension of the whip with immediate effect,” while Andy Drummond, the deputy chair of the West Suffolk Conservative Association, said: “I’m looking forward to him eating a kangaroo’s penis. You can quote me on that.”
The Sun reported that Johnson, whose father Stanley featured on the ITV show in 2018, was offered a staggering £700,000 figure to appear, which “would have been the highest ever on the show”, surpassing the £600,000 sum reportedly received by Noel Edmonds in 2018.
