Some people deal with failure better than others. Matt Hancock, it seems, has spent the past three years trying to get over losing his bid to be leader of the Conservative party. But good news! Finally, Hancock has found solace. Upon being declared leader of the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here jungle, he told his campmates his new position ‘more than makes up for’ his previous loss.
Hancock has, yet again, attempted to explain why he is in the game show jungle. ‘What I’m really looking for is a bit of forgiveness,’ he declared.
Whether that was forgiveness for discharging Covid-patients into carehomes, preventing people visiting dying relatives, stopping cancer treatments, failing to procure sufficient PPE for frontline medics or being caught having an extra-marital affair was not completely clear. Yet his desperate need for sympathy extended to being stung by a scorpion. Boy George was not impressed.
