However an ITV representative told the paper that “any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity are speculation”.Hancock’s stint on I’m A Celebrity, which was filmed while Parliament was in session, proved deeply controversial. Shortly after it was revealed that he would be taking part in the ITV show, the MP for West Suffolk had the Tory whip suspended.said that he was “very disappointed” by Hancock’s decision as “MPs should be working hard for their constituents”.
“I’m looking forward to him eating a kangaroo’s penis,” Andy Drummond, the deputy chair of the West Suffolk Conservative association said at the time.Hancock, who claimed he signed up for the show to raise the profile of his dyslexia campaign, reportedly received a £320,000 fee for his time in the jungle.
