It's taken close to two weeks but Matt Hancock has finally delivered on his 'promise' to try to raise awareness of dyslexia on I'm A Celebrity, during a candid chat in the jungle.
As his involvement in the new series of I'm A Celebrity caused a huge furore across the country, the disgraced former Health Secretary went on the record about his reasons for doing the ITV show, writing in column: " As a backbench MP, I have the freedom and time to champion causes I believe in and care about — including dyslexia.
"I want to raise the profile of my dyslexia campaign to help every dyslexic child unleash their potential — even if it means taking an unusual route to get there . . . via the Australian jungle!"

Given what he wrote in his column, many I'm A Celebrity viewers were expecting Matt to bring up dyslexia on a regular basis but, haven't heard nothing on it from him since he arrived in the jungle, questions started to be asked.
The subject finally came up during Sunday's episode when Matt spoke to co-stars Seann Walsh and Babatunde Aleshe, saying: "I desperately wanted to learn. One side on maths I could and on English I couldn’t’, he shared.
Seann asked: "Are you talking about reading specifically?" to which Matt replied: "Yeah. And then the moment I was identified as dyslexic at university suddenly instead of feeling I was just rubbish at something and useless, it was ahhhh… so actually I am ok with language, it’s just my brain works differently and I can work on that."
Reacting to the 'breakthrough,' one critic took to Twitter to post: "Before going into the jungle, Matt Hancock said he was going to highlight his dyslexia campaign. 2 weeks in and this is the first mention of it. Imagine Hancock telling a lie, what a surprise"
