I'm a Celebrity... Get Me out of Here! has prompted a raft of complaints to Ofcom in recent days, after former health secretary Matt Hancock entered the camp.
Following the announcement that he would be participating in the show, the West Suffolk MP had the Conservative Party whip removed and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has also expressed his "disappointment" at the decision to sign up.
The Tory MP was a late arrival, along with comedian Seann Walsh, and his stint on the reality show has not gone down well with many viewers. Just minutes after Mr Hancock first appeared on-screen, many fans of the show said they would not be watching any more.

He has now featured in two episodes of the programme, with both prompting a number of viewers to contact Ofcom to complain. Taking to Twitter, Phil Coxhead said: "Dear @Ofcom, why are ITV allowing prominent Tories to have excessive airtime peddling their narrative under guise of a reality/game show? Aren’t there rules about this?"
Claire said: "Made a complaint to Ofcom for the first and only time in my life tonight. I should not be left in tears at the end of an entertainment show." Helen said: "Are people complaining to Ofcom about Matt Hancock’s appearance on #ImACeleb? #AskingForAFriend", to which @DogLovingCat replied: "I have. Lack of balance and impartiality".
However, one Twitter user said there were no grounds for complaints. Quinn said: "I detest Matt Hancock as much as the next person but you can't just go running to Ofcom every time someone that you don't like appears on a TV show. That's not how it works. No he shouldn't be there, yes he should be doing his job. But that's not for Ofcom to deal with".
