I'm A Celeb's Mike Tindall claims 'politicians are f*****s' as he breaks royal protocol

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Mike Tindall has shared his views on politicians – a breach of royal protocol.

Members of The Royal Family often remain politically neutral and refrain from discussing politics in public, in a bid to remain impartial and attempt to sway the British public.

While Mike, 44, was not born into the House of Windsor, he married Zara Tindall, the eldest niece of King Charles III but does not carry out royal duties.

Despite this, Mike and his wife Zara still refrain from discussing anything political until a candid chat with his campmate, Seann Walsh.

During a chat with former Strictly Come Dancing star Seann, he said: "I just think all politicians are f*****s."

Tindall continued: "I mean for them to even have the conversation just because they're all Boris fans that didn't like how Boris was ousted that you won't pick the best person for the job, that just sums politicians up."

It comes after disgraced former Health Secretary Matt Hancock entered the camp as a late arrival.

Hancock's stint in the show has left many unimpressed, claiming he's abandoned his constituents in West Suffolk.

Before entering the jungle, the MP claimed he was taking part to raise awareness of dyslexia and his bill which he is trying to push through the House of Commons.

Hancock, 44, who currently sits as an independent in the Commons has left his fellow campers with doubts over how genuine he may be.

Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver has doubted Hanock, saying to singer Boy George: "You've got an economist in camp with a load of creatives, it is all maths, he uses a different side of his brain."

During a chat in the Bush Telegraph, she went on to say: "I really believed him when he said that thing about 'I'm looking for forgiveness' but the other things that come into play I am like 'Are you?'

"I think Matt is doing everything he can to fit in as the days go by we're finding more and more common ground so that's nice that there's something other than that the elephant in the room.

"Because there is an elephant in the room, I'm hoping we're all trying to see past it."

Despite hoping to win Brits over, a recent poll suggested that just 26% of people across the UK forgive Hancock for breaking his own coronavirus guidelines.
