There's a lot of time to fill with random chats in the I'm a Celebrity camp and in the latest episode, on November 24, the remaining campmates were discussing which celebrities and famous people they'd invite to their dinner party. The only rule was of the three invitees, one would be dead, one alive and one fictional.
And for one campmate, serving MP and former health secretary Matt Hancock, there seemed to be confusion over his 'fictional' character. The Oxford and Cambridge graduate wanted to pick Pocahontas.
While she may be the title character in the 1995 Disney film, Pocahontas was actually a real person, the daughter of a ruler of the Native American Algonquian-speaking tribes. Born in the late 16th century, there is much debate around the true story of the Native American woman's relationship with English settlers in the Jamestown settlement and her marriage to Englishman Captain John Smith. Either way, Pocahontas was a real person.
