Jill Scott's time on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! may be over in terms of her jungle adventure, but the Lioness is still in demand when it comes to finding out exactly what it was like to share a camp with celebs, royals and a serving MP. The Queen of the Jungle appeared on daytime TV show Loose Women this week, and the topic soon turned to whether she had spoken to fellow campmate Matt Hancock since leaving Australia.
Mr Hancock, who has since announced that he is quitting as a Conservative MP at the next General Election, was a late arrival to the jungle camp, arriving alongside comedian Seann Walsh. The former Health Secretary sparked controversy by starring in the show while still serving as an MP for West Suffolk.
Jill took the I'm A Celeb crown with Owen Warner in second place. Mr Hancock came third and Mike Tindall took fourth position in the final.

The Queen of the Jungle appeared on ITV's Loose Women on December 6, taking her place alongside former campmate Charlene White, who was co-hosting the show alongside fellow panellists Janet Street-Porter, Coleen Nolan and Frankie Bridge. Seated on a 'throne', the Lioness was quizzed by Janet about her relationship with the ex-Health Secretary now they have returned from Australia.
Jill said: "I haven't had a message off him yet." She added: "My knowledge of politics isn't actually that good so once we got into the jungle and everyone puts the jungle outfits on, we were one team. He was going to get the stars, he was feeding us, so I was happy with that."
According to the Mirror, Janet noted rumours that Mr Hancock had been removed from an I'm A Celebrity WhatsApp group. Host Charlene refused to confirm or deny this.
It comes after Scarlette Douglas admitted the politician was not a part of the group chat, only to row back and say he had indeed been added. At the time, she revealed Mike Tindall was the group admin but decided to not add Mr Hancock into the group as he "might be too busy".
It has been reported that just days on, there's been a U-turn and Mr Hancock has now been added to the chat after all, with Scarlette confirming the news to Lorraine Kelly on her Monday morning show when Lorraine asked her to clear up the rumours. Scarlette said that he was in the chat, just days after saying he was not. Scarlette confirmed: "He's now in the WhatsApp group, yes. He was allowed in. He's in the group, everyone can breathe."
Speculation of a feud began when Charlene shared a photo from the campmates' farewell meal in Australia and some contestants and their partners were missing. mr Hancock and his partner Gina Coladangelo were missing from the happy snap as was Boy George, Seann Walsh, Sue Cleaver and the jungle Queen herself Jill.
