Matt Hancock came third in I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

The former health secretary was in the final in Sunday (27 November). He had made it through three weeks in the jungle, but fell behind Jill Scott and Owen Warner in the final rankings.

Hancock was voted out of the jungle in the middle of Sunday’s final. Ant and Dec delivered the result around 9.50pm.

Who were the finalists?

The finalists of the hit ITV series were:

• Matt Hancock, former health secretary
• Jill Scott, former England player

Hancock, 44, had seen off celebrities like Culture Club singer Boy George, radio DJ Chris Moyles and Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver in the Australian jungle. The former health secretary is the MP for West Suffolk and has faced criticism from opposition politicians, from within his own party and had the Tory whip suspended for joining the reality show at a time when Parliament is sitting.

What did Hancock say after his exit?

He told I’m A Celebrity presenters Ant and Dec: “I know that it was controversial me coming here, I know some people said people in your position shouldn’t put themselves in embarrassing situations.
