Matt Hancock the former British health minister has been suspended from the Conservative party, following the announcement of his participation in the reality show I’m a celebrity get me out of here (which had two seasons in France).
Conservative Party disciplinary officer Simon Hart said after speaking to Matt Hancock that he concluded the matter was “serious enough to warrant his suspension with immediate effect”.
“I can’t wait to see him eat the kangaroo penis,” said Andy Drummond, deputy chairman of the Conservatives in Matt Hancock’s constituency.
The politician will rub shoulders with singer Boy George and former rugby player Mike Tindall, now a member of the royal family.
According to one of his relatives, the 44-year-old deputy took advantage of the “incredible opportunity” to participate in “I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here!”, a program that follows the tribulations of the stars premiered in a full jungle, because ” he no longer expects to serve in government.”
Kangaroo penis and earthworms
Launched in 2002, the show now hosted by the duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, “Ant & Dec,” continues to garner huge audiences. We follow the tribulations of the stars released in the middle of the jungle. Among the more or less humiliating challenges, celebrities must eat disgusting delicacies, ranging from dead scorpions to kangaroo penises, earthworms and goat’s eyes.
Several political personalities lent themselves to the game, including Nadine Dorries, who was also suspended by her party during her participation. Boris Johnson’s father and journalist Carol Thatcher, daughter of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, also participated.
After a management described as deplorable due to the Covid crisis, a resignation for non-compliance with health regulations and an extramarital affair with his assistant, the former Minister of Health thus adds a thread to his rich career.
the tabloid Sun had published at the end of June 2021 the video surveillance images that showed the minister, married and father of three children, passionately kissing Gina Coladangelo, a lifelong friend whose discreet hiring also caused controversy, in his office at a time when that even simple brakes were prohibited.
