The real reason Matt Hancock has disappeared from I'm A Celebrity 2022

The REAL reason Matt Hancock has disappeared from I’m A Celebrity 2022 – after viewers had a change of heart about his controversial stint

Matt Hancock has reportedly seen his screen time reduced on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! 2022, after ‘blending into the background’ of camp life.

The former Health Secretary sparked controversy when he was confirmed to be heading into the Australian jungle earlier this month, but in recent episodes has been noticeably absent.

Now, sources are claiming that since viewers are no longer voting for Matt to complete the Bushtucker Trials, he’s become ‘quiet’ in the camp.

Where is he? Matt Hancock has reportedly seen his screen time reduced on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! 2022, after ‘blending into the background’ of camp life

An insider told The Sun: ‘Since Matt stopped being voted to tackle Bushtucker Trials and the campmates had finished grilling him, he’s just not involved in as many conversations.

‘He is very quiet. He stepped down as camp leader to make way for Mike Tindall, which basically meant he blended into the background of camp life.

‘Which, of course, means he’s not providing many funny or interesting moments that make the cut.’

Despite previous predictions that Matt would be the first celebrity to be voted out of the jungle, the politican is now in the final six of the series, with another star set to leave the camp in Thursday’s show.

Matt has briefly appeared in recent episodes, including reflecting on his family’s ‘harrowing’ money woes when he was a child, and completing Wednesday’s Deals On Wheels challenge.

Matt has previously received a grilling by his campmates over his own controversies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During a conversation, the politician said he was ‘looking for forgiveness’ and struggled to contain his emotions as he apologised to camp for having an affair with Gina Coladangelo.

Charlene White, 42, had told the politician her aunt died from the virus and that she hadn’t been able to visit her in hospital due to the rules he had set in place – before disregarding them himself.

Speaking later in the Bush Telegraph, Matt said: ‘In a way, lots of the campmates asked questions that the public have got as well and it’s only respectful to just give completely straight and truthful answers.’

Voting for him? After surviving the first eliminations, viewers now seem to want the controversial MP to be crowned King of the Jungle

After surviving the first eliminations, many viewers now seem to want the controversial MP, who will reportedly pocket £400,000 for the show, to be crowned King of the Jungle.

Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: ‘Matt Hancock to win, I love him,’ while another added: ‘Seann, Matt, Jill & Owen for final 4, I’d be happy for any of them to win.’

Several fans simply wrote: ‘Matt to win’ while another said he was ‘the best’.

Not all viewers have been convinced however, with one writing: ‘People saying Matt Hancock to win because he is ‘humble and kind’ need to have their heads looking’.

Another added: ‘So weird how Matt Hancock has gone on I’m A Celeb and suddenly people have forgotten about everything he did to this country and are actually wanting him to win because other camp mates are ‘mean to him’, is this real? You’re joking please’.

Another viewer said: ‘If Matt Hancock wins I’m A Celeb I’m writing an email of complaint to Ofcom’.

I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Thursday at 9pm on ITV.
