Former health secretary Matt Hancock entered the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! jungle much to the surprise, and in some cases unhappiness, of his fellow campmates. While it is widely known that Matt was formerly the health secretary who resigned when he broke his own social distancing guidance while having an affair with his aide, there are some facts about Matt Hancock that may surprise you.
He was once a jockey
Matt once spent a Parliamentary recess learning how to be a jockey for charity. In 2012 Matt lost two stone and took part in a charity horse race, finishing in first place at the event held on Newmarket's course. As well as the victory, Mr Hancock, who was dubbed Action Matt at the time, also helped raise £10,000.
