Calls have been made for Matt Hancock to quit I'm A Celebrity. . . Get Me Out of Here! and for him to donate his fee to a good cause. The Conservative MP, who was health secretary during the Covid pandemic, is reportedly earning £400,000 from his stint in the jungle.
He faced a backlash from the public and had the Tory whip suspended after it was revealed that he would be a late entry into the camp. Among those calling for Mr Hancock to leave and donate all of his £400k fee is TV star Charles Hanson, who is known for appearing on Antique's Road Trip and Bargain Hunt.
He tweeted: "Personally I think Matt Hancock should resign from I'm A Celebrity, and give the £400k to the NHS. ITV and Ant and Dec have misjudged our pandemic hangover mood and what we have all suffered (many with lost loved ones). Mr Hancock should be back at work and held to account."
