A huge banner has been flown over the I'm A Celebrity camp calling for Matt Hancock to be removed from the jungle after protests from thousands of viewers.
This year's campmates are likely to have spotted the 35-metre-long banner, which read: "Covid Bereaved Say Get Out Of Here!" The message was targeted at the MP and former Health Secretary, who caused an uproar when he signed up to join the ITV show with North East families who were rocked by the pandemic branding him "morally bankrupt and distasteful".
The plane flying the banner was hired and sent out by activism organisation 38 Degrees, after a petition on the platform launched by Covid-19 Bereaved Families For Justice calling to stop Hancock appearing on I'm A Celeb surpassed 44,000 signatures. The CEO of 38 Degrees, Matthew McGregor, told the Daily Star that their banner makes the campaign's message "crystal clear" to Mr Hancock.
