Matt Hancock has signed up for I’m A Celebrity – 17 favourite responses

Former health secretary Matt Hancock has been busy trying to reinvent himself since finding himself out of government, from that job with the United Nations that never happened to filling in for James O’Brien on his LBC radio show.

… Hancock has opted for his most dramatic new look yet – as a contestant on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

He’s still a sitting Tory MP, obviously, and his party’s immediate response was to withdraw the party whip. His local Conservative Association wasn’t too impressed either.

It prompted no end of comment as you might imagine and here are our favourite 17 things people had to say about it.
