He declared the fee in the register of members' interests
Matt Hancock received £10,000 for a television appearance in which he said he did not “primarily” go on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! for the money.
Mr Hancock was criticised by constituents and then-Conservative colleagues for his controversial decision to enter the Australian jungle for I’m A Celebrity. He donated £10,000 of his £320,000 fee to charity, telling ITV during his January 31 interview: “I didn’t primarily do it for the money, I primarily did it to try to show who I am.“I think £10,000 is actually a decent sum.”
West Suffolk MP Mr Hancock lost the Tory whip over the appearance on the reality TV show and he currently sits as an independent in the Commons. He was forced to resign as health secretary after leaked CCTV footage showed him breaching his own Covid-19 guidance by kissing his assistant Gina Coladangelo.
