Matt Hancock was grilled on Good Morning Britain about his fee for being on I'm A Celebrity and why he didn't follow his own guidelines during the pandemic.
The former health secretary appeared on GMB on Tuesday and was questioned about his decision to join I'm A Celeb as well as his fee. He said he did not "primarily" go on I'm A Celebrity for the money as he insisted the 3% of his £320,000 fee he donated to charity was substantial.
He added: "I did absolutely give some of the money to charity. I didn't primarily do it (go on the reality show) for the money, I primarily did it to try to show who I really am." He insisted his £10,000 donation was a "decent sum" and was "more than my MPs salary". He did concede that "of course there was a discussion and negotiation over the fee".
