The I'm A Celebrity camp woke up to a surprise on Tuesday morning when a huge banner with Matt Hancock's name flew above their heads.
Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock has received heavy criticism after he decided to enter the jungle - and now one pilot has taken action.
The news of his jungle stint caused a media frenzy following his failures throughout the Covid pandemic, as well as his rule-breaking following the exposure of his affair with Gina Colangelo while strict social-distancing measures were in place, writes The Mirror.
In a few TV polls, a percentage of I'm A Celebrity fans have said that they have warmed to the MP after he he said that he's seeking 'a bit of forgiveness' after his failures, however most are still seething at his ITV appearance.
Prior to entering the jungle, Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice launched a petition for a campaign titled 'He's no celebrity - stop Matt Hancock appearing on I'm A Celebrity'.
The petition, which currently has over 45,000 signatures, has gathered so much attention that the website, 38 degrees, was able to fly an anti-Matt banner over camp on Tuesday morning. The huge banner, which is 35 metres wide, had the words 'Covid Bereaved Say Get Out of Here' emblazoned on it. It was flown over the ITV show's base camp in Australia.
A spokesperson from the petition site said that the plane was 'hired and sent out to make sure Matt gets the message'. Speaking to Daily Star, they said the pilot suggests that the 'banner was spotted' by the I'm A Celeb campmates. The CEO of 38 Degrees, Matthew McGregor, told the publication that their banner makes their message 'crystal clear' to Mr Hancock.
McGregor said that the MP should be giving the group answers they deserve rather than 'playing games for dingo dollars, plastic stars and a £400,000 paycheck.'
