Matt Hancock has been left out of the 2022 I'm A Celebrity casts' WhatsApp group, a former campmate has revealed. Less than a week after the MP, 44, made it to the final, the former campmates have created a chat to keep in touch and organise future meet-ups, but Hancock is noticeably not invited, reports the Mirror.
A Place In The Sun star Scarlette Douglas, who was second to be evicted in the ITV show, revealed Mike Tindall is group admin but decided to not add Hancock into the group as he "might be too busy". Scarlette made the remarks while speaking at the UK premiere of Will Smith’s upcoming film Emancipation on Friday.
She said: "I’m not the admin of that WhatsApp group so if Mike (Tindall) wants to invite him he absolutely can, but it’s not me to put the invitation out so we’ll see what happens. He might be busy, you never know, he’s doing a lot of stuff, he’s got a lot of press coming up so he might be too busy."

And the TV presenter revealed there are already plans in the making for their next reunion. "We’ve all said when we can, because we’re all over the country, we’ll get together and have a meal for Owen because he loves food," she said.
Scarlette added the group planned to go and see comedians Seann Walsh and Babatunde Aleshe perform in the coming weeks, when they returned to gigging. “Ultimately we’re all going to try and stay in touch, which is important,” she said.
“We’ve all got our little WhatsApp group and we’re all messaging all the time so hopefully that doesn’t die down. Scarlette added it had been “absolutely weird” when she first saw Hancock enter the jungle.
The MP has arrived back in the UK to face the music after extending his trip to cash in on his I'm A Celebrity fame. Hancock had been expected back in England sooner following his reality TV jaunt, but the former Health Secretary opted to leave his girlfriend Gina Coladangelo to fly homo solo while he enjoyed some extra time in Australia.
Gina jetted out of the country on Tuesday with some of Hancock's celebrity campmates, but the independent MP remained Down Under to cash in on his new found fame with a lucrative interview. Now he has arrived back in England, Hancock will need to clear up several issues regarding his political career, including his huge I'm A Celebrity fee.
