Angela Rayner says Matt Hancock going on I'm A Celebrity is 'offensive' as she blasts MP

Angela Rayner has said that Matt Hancock appearing on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here is "offensive" as she blasted the MP for his decision.

The deputy leader of the Labour Party joined Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield on This Morning today, where they were discussing the Tory MP heading into the jungle tonight. In the upcoming episode Hancock and comedian Seann Walsh will get down and dirty in trial 'Beastly Burrows'.

As she sat on the This Morning couch, Ms Rayner slammed Mr Hancock saying he should be in parliament rather than "squirming around with maggots". Prior to entering the jungle, Mr Hancock defended his decision to go on the show, for what is a reported £400,000 fee, insisting he wants to reach voters in new way and raise awareness of campaigns and issues important to him, writes The Mirror.
