Matt Hancock tells 'concerned' constituents that I'm A Celeb allows him to 'speak to the nation'

Matt Hancock has said in a letter to his 'concerned' constituents that appearing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! will allow him to 'speak candidly to the nation'. It's been reported that the former health secretary is under fire from his constituents in West Suffolk.

He has flown 10,000 miles around the world to take part in the ITV hit show. But Parliament remains in session, and voters in his area are reportedly concerned that he is not supporting them.

In the letter to constituents who have contacted his office to complain, Mr Hancock suggested he was fulfilling his duties by fleeing to the jungle, reports MirrorOnline.
