He received a grilling from his fellow campmates about how he handled certain aspects of the Covid pandemic.
Matt Hancock shocked viewers and campmates when it was revealed that he'd be taking part in ITV's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here this year.
On Thursday night's episode , Channel 4 presenter Scarlette Douglas highlighted that some viewers and his fellow campmates might be annoyed or upset to see him in the jungle because of how he handled the pandemic. And when speaking about his affair and breach of lockdown rules, which led to his resignation as the health secretary in June 2021, he said: "It's no excuse but I fell in love and that also had a lot of other consequences. I obviously brought it on myself. But I messed up and I fessed up."
