NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock is rumoured to be heading to the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
Not the first politician to take a punt at grim Bushtucker trials, the MP for West Suffolk is widely reported to be joining the newly-revealed, 10-person cast as a late addition to the series.
Shortly after the news emerged, it was announced that the Conservative Party had suspended him – that he had lost the Tory whip.
Chief Whip Simon Hart confirmed as much, saying in a statement: ‘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.’
