Matt Hancock has made headlines this week after signing up for the 2022 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here. However, reports are also circulating about the former health secretary, which indicate that he spent hundreds of pounds of taxpayers’ money on buying equipment to film himself.
The serving MP, racked up a bill of £449 for a camera and a £159.97for a teleprompter last year and attributed the costs to his parliamentary expense claims. Mr Hancock has defended the claims via a spokesperson.
It comes during a week in which the West Suffolk MP explained his decision to appear on cult ITV show I'm A Celeb alongside the likes of pop icon Boy George, radio presenter Chris Moyles, soap star Sue Cleaver and England Lionesses Jill Scott.
