I gather Matt Hancock has made special arrangements with ITV about contacting the constituancy if required.

According to today's Metro, he is being paid £136,000. I hope he gives it to some charity, which is what Nadine Dorries did when she did the same thing in 2012.

I suppose that Boy George could really be described as a 'camp' mate

At least most people will have heard of him, unlike several of the other camp mates

I thought it was celebrities that went in the jungle?? ;-) ;-) ;-)

Since when did he become a celebrity or have i missed something? :-S

I think he also plans to bring politics to the masses, those that get their information on programmes like good morning Britain and Loose Women

Probably enough to send the other camp mates screaming for the exit.

I don’t know if I made this up because I now can’t find it, but I think I read that he would be contactable if the was a constituency problem :-S. Has he never watched the programme?

Also, with trench foot, how has he passed the medical?

Oh no, it's to 'communicate' with the viewers, and to promote his dyslexia campaign.

Have to admit, I've never heard of his dyslexia campaign.
Apparently, the first reading of his Bill to ensure primary school children are screened, went through in March.
He did twitter about it, but I' not a member of the twitterati.

And he is not in it for the money...................... ;-)

True.
But still, if I heard he'd done anything interesting on the programme, I'd watch it on 'catch up'.

Hancock is just a 'bums on seats' casting. :-\

maggiewinchester Report 2 Nov 2022 17:03

Oh, so it appears Hancock has 'trench foot', that he acquired whilst on Celebrity 'Who Dares, Wins', in October, and it can, apparently take 6 months to get better.
So that's his excuse to avoid any water-based challenges.

Maybe he is desperate for money. He must be paying for his kids And his new partner - expensive?

Too true, Von!

I wonder if he'll be excused some trials on (imaginary) medical grounds?

not even from behind the sofa Ann? :-D :-D
My stepson phoned me this morning to say "I fort I'd better let you know that I'm a Celebrity starts on Sunday" :-D <3 I thanked him most kindly :-D

Mike Tindall? I thought he'd have more self respect.

Matt Hancock, ugh, he's bound to get all the trials. He's just a wannabe tv star now.

Any sign of Reesty Moggie? He'll be looking for easy money.

It will not be gracing my living room.

The public will be voting him to do all the trials. I cant imagine him doing very well in there at all. Well and truly out of his comfort zone.

Mike Tindall is a survivor and I think he will do well and also; he won't be spilling Royal secrets either. Boy George! hmmm obviously his career and popularity is flagging hence he must be desperate for money. Hope he leaves those ridiculous hats at home.

Fwiw, I agree Maggie. Why should Matt Hancock still get paid whilst he is in the jungle? It's unpaid leave, isn't it?

No other job pays you to take a sabbatical, does it?

The lady that plays Eileen Grimshaw in Corrie looks an unlikely candidate too!

Didn't they have Bo Jo's dad Stanley in the jungle a few years ago too?

He’ll either be voted off straight away or he will be voted into all the worst bush Tucker trial until almost the end.
