I'm A Celebrity... Matt Hancock 'never believed' he would get so far on ITV show

Matt Hancock has admitted that he 'never' believed he'd make it so far on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! The Tory MP, 44, has outlasted the likes of Culture Club singer Boy George, radio DJ Chris Moyles and Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver in the Australian jungle.

Speaking after Moyles was eliminated on Thursday, the former health secretary told the Bush Telegraph: “We’re so near the end and I’m delighted to be still here. I never thought I’d make it to the final five and here I am, so I’m very grateful."

Hancock, who is currently the MP for West Suffolk, has faced criticism for his appearance in the jungle. Opposition politicians and those from within his own party have condemned his decision to go on the reality show and resulted in him having the Tory whip suspended for joining at a time when Parliament is sitting.
