I'm A Celebrity ...Get Me Out Of Here! fans took to Twitter to point out that former health secretary Matt Hancock had 'finally' been seen mentioning his dyslexia on screen after claiming he was on the popular ITV reality show to raise awareness. Matt had previously been blasted by I'm a Celebrity viewers unimpressed that here had been 'no mention' of dyslexia on screen since he made his debut in the famous jungle camp as a latecomer on Wednesday November 9.

The MP for West Suffolk, who had the Tory whip suspended with immediate effect after it was revealed he had signed to join the series in Australia as a latecomer, has been asked by members of the camp why he is there.
