I'm A Celebrity's Sue Cleaver hints at Matt Hancock feud with awkward Instagram snub

I'm A Celebrity star Sue Cleaver appeared to snub campmate Matt Hancock, by not following him on Instagram.

The Coronation Street star actress, 59, follows all her other campmates, but the controversial MP is missing from the list, despite Matt following her.

Sue even follows Olivia Attwood, who was only in the show for a day.

In the jungle Sue made her feelings about the former health secretary joining the show clear, saying it "did not sit well" with her.

It came after Seann Walsh, while chatting to Sue and Chris Moyles, said: "That man will have a very different account of what he did to what we all think happened and there will be reasons.

"I’m not justifying anything that that guy did or certainly what that government… the decisions they’ve made, but f*** being in his job when that was going on."

Sue replied: "I totally, totally agree with you, but the choice after everything that happened and the impact on everybody at home, and families and people in homes to make a choice to come into I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! does not sit well with me."

Since the final on Sunday, there have been rumours of a feud between the campmates, after a photo from the goodbye meal was shared online.

As this year's series came to a close, the contestants went for one last slap up meal together - and didn't need to complete any tasks to get the good grub.

However, Matt and his partner Gina were missing from the snap, as were Jill Scott, Seann Walsh, Sue, and Boy George.

Charlene, who uploaded the photo, wrote: "Last one’s standing after a food and wine filled night with all the camp mates, family & friends. Brilliant final meal to officially mark the end of our crazy @imacelebrity experience. It was a blast."

Later, Charlene amended the caption to add: "We're not all pictured here as a few tapped out early... but we kept going til the restaurant chucked us out."

Matt's arrival in the camp was met with frostiness and uncertainty by several campmates, with former ITV news presenter Charlene finding it particularly difficult.

Speaking about why she didn't sleep in the SUV with him, Charlene told Ant & Dec after her exit: "I’m an impartial journalist, I can’t be sharing a room with a sitting MP because that just doesn’t sit well with me impartiality wise.

"And I just think, if he were ever to become minister again how can I sit and question him about anything when I’ve shared a room with him?"

Earlier today, Matt headed home to face up to the backlash over his participation in the show.

He missed his earlier planned flight because he was taking part in a lucrative interview where he is expected to try to defend his decision to leave his constituents without an MP for a month to appear on I'm A Celebrity.
