NOT even a trip to the Australian bush could spare former British Secretary of State for Health, Matthew Hancock, from his critics.
Hancock, who led Britain's COVID-19 response, until he was busted for breaching social distancing regulations when smooching an aide in a lift, has taken a break from political life to participate in the UK's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.
Fellow contestant, Scarlette Douglas, took aim at Hancock's behaviour, describing it as "a slap in the face" for people who lived by the rules throughout the pandemic.
While Hancock has been feeling the heat from his camp mates, campaign group 38 Degrees has done its best to remind him that the British public are unimpressed by his performance, flying a message over the I'm a Celebrity camp saying, "COVID bereaved say get out of here!"
The group's CEO, Matthew McGregor, said the aerial campaign aimed to let the MP know the public's feelings.
"Our message emblazoned across the skies makes crystal clear to Matt Hancock [that] 'you should be representing the people of West Suffolk [in Parliament] and giving COVID bereaved families the answers they deserve, rather than playing games for dingo dollars'," he said.
Hancock has told his camp colleagues that he is "really looking for a bit of forgiveness".
