I'm A Celebrity winner slams Matt Hancock's 'strange decision' amid cost of living crisis

Former I'm A Celebrity winner Tony Blackburn thinks it's a "very strange decision" for Matt Hancock to appear on the ITV show amid the cost of living crisis.

The legendary radio DJ, 79, has hit out at the shameless former Health Secretary's decision to star in the reality show, and thinks the disgraced MP - who is receiving a rumoured £350,000 fee for his appearance - is at risk of "destroying" his profile even more.

Tony - who won the show's first-ever series in 2002 - said: "I would find it a very strange choice in the middle of a cost of living and inflation crisis to disappear into the jungle, but he probably, in a way, he thinks he'll go in there for a couple of weeks with no contact with the outside world and when he comes out everything will be alright.
