Campaigners fly banner over I'm A Celebrity camp with Matt Hancock message

Campaigners have flown a plane over the I'm A Celebrity camp demanding Matt Hancock leave the show.

Mr Hancock's spot in the jungle has been a point of tension given his controversial time as the UK's health secretary. Viewers have tried to get their own back on the politician by making him undergo every challenge of the show so far but some campaigners are demanding he leaves the jungle entirely.

38 Degrees, who are working with Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice, flew a banner of the camp which didn't go unheard in the camp.

Matthew McGregor, the CEO of 38 Degrees, shared images of the banner online as he said: "Overnight, @38degrees flew a plane over the @imacelebrity set with a message from the @CovidJusticeUK families that Matt Hancock couldn't ignore."

"We know it wasn't missed because there was a formal noise complaint from the ground! #ImACeleb." Since making his debut last Wednesday, the 44-year-old has faced widespread criticism over his decision to take part in the ITV reality show.

He added: "No one has forgotten how Matt Hancock conducted himself during the Covid-19 pandemic, not the general public, not his campmates, and certainly not those who lost loved ones.

"Our message emblazoned across the skies makes crystal clear to Matt Hancock, you should be representing the people of West Suffolk and giving Covid Bereaved Families the answers they deserve, rather than playing games for dingo dollars and plastic stars."
