Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock broke down and said he was 'looking for is a bit of forgiveness' on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! It came as he was grilled by ITV journalist and presenter Charlene White and Radio X presenter Chris Moyles.
The outburst came a day after Thursday's show (November 10), in which Channel 4 presenter Scarlette Douglas addressed the fact that Hancock's fellow campmates, and viewers at home, may understandably be upset by the MP's decision to do the reality TV show due the criticism he faced during the pandemic. "A lot of people had difficult times and then to see that people who had set the rules had broken them was a big slap in the face," the presenter said.
Matt then responded: "I know how people felt and that's why I resigned, so good on you for saying that." Later addressing his affair and breach of rules, which subsequently led to him resigning as the health secretary in June 2021, Matt said: "It's no excuse but I fell in love and that also had a lot of other consequences. I obviously brought it on myself. But I messed up and I fessed up."
