Matt Hancock has been described as 'surprisingly likeable' by some viewers of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! However, while some are warming to the his charms, others - such as radio DJ Danny Baker - say the former health secretary is "a creep" - and his "chummy normalisation" is "repulsive".
Mr Hancock, MP for West Suffolk since 2010, received a mixed response from his campmates in the jungle. Boy George said he would have left I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! after Mr Hancock’s arrival if his mother had died in hospital during the pandemic. But his arrival was met with a mixture of shock, incredulity and uncontrollable laughter from other campmates.
And the response among viewers was similarly mixed on Twitter. @Samishlol said it "seems Matt Hancock is changing peoples minds" - and shared a screengrab of tweets from people, describing him as 'surprisingly likeable' and saying the episode was hilarious.
