The controversial appearance of the sitting MP has been discussed by fans, as well as the celebrities in the jungle.
Many have shared their opinions on sharing a camp with the disgraced former Health Secretary due to his behaviour during the Covid pandemic.

Hide AdIt appears that some of the I’m A Celebrity campmates have come round to Matt being in the jungle, but the general public have continued to share their dislike of the politician by voting him for nearly every Bushtucker trial.
One of the celebrities that have been vocal about their dislike of Matt Hancock in the jungle was radio presenter Chris Moyles.
Chris told the Bush Telegraph: “Honestly the way I feel now is he pulled the mask slightly off his chin a little bit, but I still think he’s not telling us the full truth.”
Later the same day Chris also spoke to television presenter Scarlette Douglas, saying: "It was when he asked for forgiveness. I wanted to say ‘forgiveness for what, Matt? What are you sorry for, being caught or having an affair, making bad decisions or lying? If you’re going to be real then be real. I don’t think he’s being real and it’s bugging me."
