The new series of I’m a Celebrity airs on Sunday and the producers have done a decent job of making sure all of Westminster will be watching. Some contestants bring laughter to the jungle; others have star power. Matt Hancock though will be bringing his humility, judgement and expertise in national humiliation when he appears on the ITV show for a reported £400,000. Nice work if you can get it!
Sadly for the womaniser of West Suffolk, while his experience might bring him riches, it’s unlikely to provide redemption. For a new poll for The Spectator shows that the British public strongly disapprove of both Hancock’s decision to partake in the contest and are eagerly anticipating a forthcoming defeat. Voters are hoping by an impressive margin of three to one that Hancock does not win the reality show. A whopping 61 per cent say they hope he loses, with more undecided – 20 per cent – than just the 19 per cent of voters who want him to win: less than one in five.
