As Matt Hancock and comedian Seann Walsh, the latest I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 'wild card' arrivals, prepare to enter the jungle and take part in their first ever Bushtucker Trial on Wednesday night's episode, which will air at 9pm on November 9, the former House Secretary has said he hoping to bust all misconceptions of what politicians are really like during his time on the show. He also revealed how his constituents can still contact him while in the jungle "at any point on any urgent constituency matters."
Matt, 44, who is "swapping Downing Street for Down Under" was unveiled as one of two 'top secret' arrivals joining the remaining nine celebrities on Tuesday, November 8, by the show's hosts Ant and Dec, who introduced the pair as the "worst kept secret" on television. They later announced that the two late arrivals would be taking on the next Bushtucker Trial, airing on Wednesday, November 9. Ant and Dec explained: "There is no trial vote tonight because two top secret new arrivals are on their way and they are facing the trial.".
Of his reasons behind wanting to take part in the show, the West Suffolk politician said: "Politicians are people too and it will be nice for people to see me as me. We are human too."
