Matt Hancock has finished in third place in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! after controversially signing up to the show.<\/p>\n

Ex-Lioness Jill Scott was crowned queen of the jungle, with Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner runner-up.<\/p>\n

When Mr Hancock first went into camp as a surprise late arrival, the public had initially taken out their anger over his handling of the COVID pandemic on him and voted for him to complete six ‘Bushtucker Trials’ in a row.<\/p>\n

In one episode, the West Suffolk MP<\/a><\/strong> admitted he had “messed up” during his time as health secretary and said he had entered the competition seeking “forgiveness”.<\/p>\n

In June 2021, he was forced to quit Boris Johnson<\/a><\/strong>‘s cabinet after breaking COVID social distancing rules by having an affair in his ministerial office with aide Gina Coladangelo.<\/p>\n

His 18 days in the Australian jungle has seen him suspended from the Conservative parliamentary party and criticised by colleagues, including Rishi Sunak.<\/p>\n

Mr Hancock<\/strong><\/a> conceded he wasn’t proud of his actions, but when questioned by campmates, insisted it was because he “fell in love”.<\/p>\n

While some of his fellow contestants were won over by the admission, his appearance on the reality show has angered others.<\/p>\n

During the show’s second week, a COVID campaign group flew a nine-metre (30ft) protest banner over the camp<\/a><\/strong> demanding Mr Hancock leave.<\/p>\n

The protest by group 38 Degrees, working with COVID-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK, came after thousands of people signed their petition calling for ITV to reverse its decision to include Mr Hancock in the show, for a fee of reportedly as much as \u00a3400,000.<\/p>\n

‘We are normal people’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Hancock recognised his appearance on the show was “controversial” during his exit interview with presenters Ant and Dec.<\/p>\n

“I know that it was controversial me coming here, I know some people said people in your position shouldn’t put themselves in embarrassing situations,” the MP said.<\/p>\n

“But we’re all human, and we all put ourselves in it.”<\/p>\n

He stressed: “We are normal people.”<\/p>\n

Mr Hancock praised his campmates for behaving in a “really grown up way” during “grillings” over his time in office.<\/p>\n

Before heading into the jungle, ex-England footballer and Euro 2022 winner Jill Scott had said she thought there was “no way” she would be in the final, but the public loved her for her no-nonsense attitude, humility, positivity and sense of fun.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n[ad_2]\n
