I'M A Celeb fans are all saying the same thing as Matt Hancock finally talks about dyslexia | The Sun

I'M A CELEB fans were left fuming over Matt Hancock's late mention of his battle with dyslexia.

The Tory MP, 44, is now facing criticism from viewers after claiming that his main reason for joining I'm A Celebrity was to raise awareness of dyslexia, but failed to do so for more than two weeks since entering the jungle.

Matt, who was diagnosed with dyslexia at 18, finally opened up about his struggle to fellow campmates Babatunde Aleshe and Seann Walsh, in last night's episode.

But his revelation appears to be too little too late for viewers who have watched Matt appear more concerned with trials and revelling in the enviable surf 'n' turf BBQ with fellow campmates Sue Cleaver and Jill Scott.

One fan said: " Matt said he was going into #ImACeleb to raise awareness about Dyslexia. That’s got to be the first time he has vaguely mentioned it!"

Another said: "Finally brought up dyslexia which was apparently the reason he went in #ImACeleb."

As Matt spoke to Babatunde and Seann about school days he said: "I desperately wanted to learn. One side on maths I could and on English, I couldn’t."

He then added: "And then the moment I was identified as dyslexic at university suddenly instead of feeling I was just rubbish at something and useless, it was ahhhh… so actually I am OK with language, it’s just my brain works differently and I can work on that."

He had previously defended his decision to enter the show by claiming it was the perfect platform to raise awareness of dyslexia.

At the time Matt said: "I’m A Celebrity . . . is watched by millions of Brits up and down the country. I want to use this incredible platform to raise awareness, so no child leaves primary school not knowing if they have dyslexia."

He then added: "By talking about dyslexia on prime-time TV, I hope to not only increase support for my Dyslexia Screening and Teacher Training Bill."

The former Health Secretary managed to escape eviction last night. Instead presenter Scarlette Douglas was the second evictee following news presenter Charlene White.
