Ex ITV I'm A Celeb star says one contestant is 'manipulating' the camp

A former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star has claimed one of this year's contestants is "manipulating" the other campmates. Gillian McKeith, who made a memorable appearance on the ITV reality show back in 2010, predicted that if Matt Hancock is not the first celebrity to leave the camp, he could end up winning.

The TV personality and writer - who hosted You Are What You Eat - tipped ex England rugby star Mike Tindall will ultimately be crowned King of the Jungle. But she was wary of the former health secretary "weaving people into his web" and claimed I'm A Celeb is "totally the Matt Hancock show".

Gillian told The Sun: "You do get a sense from him that he is lacking self awareness, but when it comes to politicians they are so clever, they are very good at weaving people into their web and making themselves appear extremely amiable and kind and caring. He is demonstrating all of these qualities on the show so of course he could be manipulating us because aren’t politicians like that?"
