Hancock’s reality TV stint greeted with criticism

-

The Conservati­ve MP Matt Hancock has been covered in slime and pelted with feathers and custard while taking part in the UK reality TV show I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!

Hancock, 44, has sought to rehabilita­te his image after resigning as health secretary for breaking Covid rules by having an affair with his aide. His decision to join the show was met with criticism from parliament­ary colleagues as he is a serving MP and will be in Australia for the duration of filming. He had the party whip removed and the prime minister, Rishi Sunak, expressed his “disappoint­ment”.
