Matt Hancock could be spared one of the most gruelling parts of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! because of a condition that he is said to have developed while filming another reality show.
The former Health Secretary caused an uproar when it was revealed that he had joined the line-up for the new ITV series, which begins airing this Sunday. Bookies quickly put money on the MP being voted to do the most Bushtucker Trials in the history of the show - but this may not end up being the case, according to reports.
A source told The Sun that Hancock could be exempt from taking part in the often gruesome and terrifying trials due to a health condition that he developed while filming Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. "When he was filming SAS Who Dares Wins in October, Matt got trench foot – in fact, a lot of the cast did," they said.
