Matt Hancock slammed for 'no mention' of dyslexia on ITV I'm A Celebrity

Former health secretary Matt Hancock has been blasted by I'm a Celebrity viewers who have pointed out there has been 'no mention' of dyslexia on screen since he arrived in the jungle. Fans have complained that they haven't seen any discussion of his Dyslexia Screening and Teacher Training Bill so far during his first week on the ITV reality show.

The MP for West Suffolk, who had the Tory whip suspended with immediate effect after it was revealed he had signed to join the series in Australia as a latecomer, has been asked by members of the camp why he is there. But the word dyslexia has not featured in those conversations, leaving viewers wondering if it has been mentioned at all, reports the Mirror.

Matt found out he had the learning difficulty, which causes problems with reading, writing and spelling, when he was 18 after he had reached university. He spent his school years avoiding subjects where he would have to write essays.
