I was absolutely clear why this should not be allowed to happen. Utterly disgusting.

'Don't go on. You've got a job to do, you've got constituents to serve and you've got an inquiry to give evidence to'

The man who claimed to throw a 'protective ring' around care homes, was responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and widespread suffering wants to cash in?! Appalling

Distasteful (at best) and disgraceful. I have signed a petition asking ITV to reconsider allowing the former health secretary to promote his career as a 'celebrity' by standing on the bodies of our beloved dead who died on his watch. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/he-s… via 38 Degrees

He should be appearing before the Inquiry, making his WhatsApp messages and emails available to them, instead of being involved in such an appalling stunt. The decisions he made cost my Dad his life. #covidjustice

Lobby Akinnola of Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK accuses Matt Hancock of 'trying to cash in on his terrible legacy' as health secretary during the pandemic by going on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!

ITV should do the decent thing and remove him from the programme.

5/5

If he had any respect for bereaved families, he would be sharing his private emails with the Covid Inquiry, not eating bugs on TV.

Then again, perhaps if those emails came to light no TV station would touch him with a barge pole.
