NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
When Matt Hancock confirmed he would be entering the jungle for I’m A Celebrity the nation collectively gasped, but he is not the first nor will he probably be the last politician to appear on reality TV.
The disgraced former health secretary, who has experienced a ginormous backlash for the unexpected career jump, joins a number of MPs who have jetted to Australia, including Edwina Curry, Stanley Johnson, Nadine Dorries and Lembit Opik.
But as a scathing Phillip Schofield pointed out on This Morning politicians have generally not ‘done very well’ in the public vote, as he predicted Hancock, who has been suspended by the Tory party for the decision, will be ‘tortured’ by viewers.
In the jungle, Hancock will have to contend with his fellow campmates, including Loose Women’s Charlene White who may confront him after losing her aunt to Covid, as well as creepy crawlies.
