Matt Hancock has told his constituents he has joined I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! to 'speak candidly to the nation'. The former health secretary penned a letter to voters in his West Suffolk seat to explain why he is appearing on the reality show following a number of complaints.
He faced a backlash after ditching his job in Parliament to fly 10,000 miles around the world to take part in the ITV hit show, but suggested he was fulfilling his duties by fleeing to the jungle, which would allow viewers to see 'a politician as they really are'.
Mr Hancock will enter the jungle in tonight's episode (November 9) and will be seen crawling through dark tunnels and wading through sludge in his first bush tucker trial, reports the Mirror.
