Matt Hancock faces jungle hell - as readers want to see a scorpion down his pants and him eating animal penis

Mirror readers are adamant they want to see former health secretary Matt Hancock endure the very worst the I'm A Celebrity jungle has to offer.

We asked readers which Bushtucker Trial you'd most like to see tackled by the now-suspended Tory MP.

And your suggestions ranged from the relatively sedate "glass coffin suspended in mid air with tarantulas" through to the downright nasty "small scorpions and large centipedes in his pants".

Hancock, who quit as health secretary after breaking his own lockdown rules by having an affair with aide Gina Coladangelo, is rumoured to have been paid £400,000 for his appearance Down Under with Ant & Dec.

The eye-watering figure and time spent away from office has attracted much criticism from his constituents, who feel he should be serving them rather than 'galavanting to the other side of the world'.

This sentiment was echoed by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who stated MPs "should be working hard for their constituents at a challenging time for the country".

Hancock is reported to have seen the move as "an incredible opportunity to connect with younger generations", but his fellow Tories haven't quite seen it like that.

The deputy chair of the Conservative MP's local Tory Association admitted he was "looking forward to seeing him eat a kangaroo's penis".

Hancock joins a cast for the 2022 edition of I’m a Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! that includes England footballer Jill Scott, DJ Chris Moyles and Loose Women star Charlene White.
