Sir Lindsay Hoyle has said he would not personally “go running round a jungle eating kangaroos’ testicles”, as he suggested Matt Hancock will have to answer to his constituents for his stint on reality TV.
Chorley’s Commons Speaker said the former health secretary’s fate in politics “lies with the people” – who will “make their feelings known” about his decision to go on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Mr Hancock has had the Tory whip suspended and come under fire after opting to join the show, which starts on Sunday night.
