He ran to replace Theresa May
Matt Hancock has been voted leader of the I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! campsite - and says it "more than makes up for" his failed Tory leadership bid three years ago. The former health secretary was in the running to replace Theresa May in the 2019 Conservative Party leadership contest in 2019 but later withdrew and backed Boris Johnson.
He recruited Loose Women presenter Charlene White as a teammate - despite previously clashing over his breaking of Covid-19 guidance during the pandemic - as they triumphed in the challenge involving working together to switch on a series of lights. Ahead of the task, Mike - who is married to King Charles' niece Zara Tindall - joked: "If I went home and I’d lost to Matt Hancock, I’d be in so much s***.
However, their win prompted Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver, who would have been Mike’s deputy, to comment: "We now have a dictatorship…" Matt and Charlene were then charged with assigning chores to their campmates while remaining exempt and also got the chance to sleep inside the RV – an upgrade from the campsite.
