This Morning's Holly Willoughby said Hancock was "just a human", during a discussion on Thursday about the former Health Secretary's fee for I'm A Celebrity 2022.
Hancock was revealed to be a last-minute signing for the ITV series, hosted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, and he will be a late arrival in the jungle.
Amid backlash over the signing of Hancock, and his decision to take part, it's been reported he will earn £400,000 for the stint.
