Matt Hancock 'I'm a Celebrity' appearance sparks new U.K. anger at politicians
Ex-health minister Matt Hancock, who resigned from Boris Johnson's government after a Covid sex scandal, will appear on ‘I’m a Celebrity...Get me out of Here!'
LONDON — After months of chaos and scandal, Britons facing a winter of economic pain have at least been able to take solace in seeing the country’s political leaders served the occasional slice of humble pie.
Now, they may be able to watch one eat kangaroo testicles, instead.
Matt Hancock, who resigned as a government minister after video emerged of him breaking his own Covid lockdown rules to kiss and embrace an aide, is set to appear on a reality TV show set in the Australian jungle called “I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!”
The annual show features a group of more-or-less famous celebrity contestants — often former soccer players, comedians and pop stars — who undergo challenges involving spiders, rats and kangaroo body parts before the public votes them out one by one.
Hancock, 44, quit as health minister last year but has remained a lawmaker through the tumult that saw first prime ministers Boris Johnson and then, swiftly, Liz Truss forced from office.
