Matt Hancock is not in the I'm A Celebrity campmates' WhatsApp group chat, one of his fellow 2022 contestants says.
Scarlette Douglas told PA News Ageny that the chat group set up by Mike Tindall does not include the former Health Secretary and current Tory MP.
Speaking at the UK premiere of Will Smith's upcoming film, Emancipation, the A Place in The Sun presenter was asked which of her fellow jungle contestants she would invite round for dinner.

She told the PA news agency: “Pretty much everybody.
“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 added that 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 told PA.
“We’ve all got our little WhatsApp group and we’re all messaging all the time so hopefully that doesn’t die down.
Asked if Mr Hancock, who has released his 'Pandemic Diaries ' this week, would be joining the activities, she replied: “I don’t know.
“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.”
She added that it had been “absolutely weird” when she first saw Mr Hancock enter the jungle.
