Prior to going on the ITV show, Mr Hancock said viewers would "see the real me". Despite the controversy around him signing up the 44-year-old felt he had a chance of winning and said being crowned king would be the "icing on the cake".
In an interview he said his phobias include "snakes", adding: "I don't thankfully suffer from claustrophobia - or I think I don't." The Mirror reports. "Lots of people have a view on me from being health secretary in the pandemic dealing with some very difficult issues.
"But that's not the whole story. I am looking forward to throwing myself into it all like I do everything in life. You can't hide anything in the jungle, you see somebody warts and all."
You can see the full trial on I'm A Celebrity tonight at 9pm.
