Matt Hancock will appear on I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! when the mismatch of well-known faces enter the Australian jungle on Sunday, November 9.
The former Health Secretary might be looking to “go to where the people are”, according to his own statement, but the decision to appear on the hit ITV television show has cost him his party credentials.
After informing party bosses of his decision to fly Down Under for filming, Chief Whip Simon Hart decided to suspend the whip from Mr Hancock — who was a key player in Boris Johnson's Government's handling of the Covid pandemic.
