The latest campmate to be evicted from the I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here jungle has launched a tirade against fellow campmate Matt Hancock. Radio presenter Chris Moyles couldn't believe that he had been voted out before the MP.
Moments after being the sixth campmate to leave, he said he was "gutted" to be less popular than former health secretary Matt Hancock, who remains in the show. Read what he had to say here.
And in his first in-depth interview since leaving he let rip branding him "fake" and saying he should be working and not in the jungle. The 28-year-old told said on the radio: “I don't know what's been in the show... I was venting quite a lot when he first came in. Because, well, I'll just say he should be at work, because he's an MP and he's paid to look after people and their interests and hopefully make their lives better, and I don't know how he does that by going on the jungle show.
“And then there was a moment when we got into a conversation about him and it got quite tense, which I accidentally started by being a smart ass and going 'so when did your book come out' and he went 'next month' and I didn't know he had a book out!”
He continued: "And the reason I got I got annoyed with him was because Seann did something in his personal life that got thrown all over the newspapers and didn't impact my life whatsoever, has had a really, really hard time career wise, and mental health wise since. He was very open about it, and has come on the show to basically to say 'I'm really not a bad guy, can I start again?' Which is really honest and takes a lot of balls. And Matt Hancock kind of dived around a few questions, I thought, and then said 'I guess all I'm just asking for is forgiveness'. At which point I had to walk out of camp and just get away because I personally found that quite fake. And that really wound me up."
He added: "As a campmate he did an amazing job. And as a guy he lives in a different world to you and me. But, he's a human being. There's Matt Hancock, who I have issues with, and there's Matt who I was in the jungle with and I know that sounds almost like an excuse, but it was the only way that myself and others could deal with that fact."
The decision by ITV to allow Matt to go into the jungle as a serving MP has caused huge controversy. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he was "disappointed" in Matt and would not be watching.
Tory MP Tim Loughton described the MP as an “absolute prat”, and campaigners for families bereaved in the Covid-19 pandemic accused him of trying to “cash in on his terrible legacy”.
