Matt Hancock insists he has "lots of support" about his decision to join I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! despite being suspended by the Conservative party.
The former Health Secretary has faced widespread backlash for his decision to go down under to film the reality show while parliament is sitting. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon have criticised the MP for his decision to depart from his constituency.
Despite all the controversy, Mr Hancock insists he actually has a lot of backing for his decision to head down under to the jungle. He said in a final interview ahead of his jungle debut: "I informed the Whip and I gave my reasons. I have had a lot of supportive messages from people who can see what I am trying to do to show that politicians are people too."
