And it looks like Matt Hancock is the latest unlikely politician to capture the attentions of the younger generation thanks to his appearance on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! The former health secretary, who was voted to compete in six consecutive Bushtucker Trials on the ITV show, is experiencing his very own version of 2015's 'Milifandom.' Despite raising eyebrows and facing a grilling from his campmates when he entered the jungle last week, it seems that Mr Hancock has found himself a whole new fan base on social media site TikTok. A number of accounts dedicated to Mr Hancock have been created in the last week, most of which praise his efforts in the jungle with some even dubbing him a heartthrob. While some appear to have been created ironically, others seem to be genuine, with people expressing their apparent admiration for the West Suffolk MP.

Clips of the former Tory frontbencher taking part in trials and chatting to his campmates have also been doing the rounds on the app. One person wrote: 'I love him bro I don't know what problem people have with him. ' Another read: 'I feel for Matt. They are all bullying him in my eyes and it's not right no matter what he did.' Other comments posted below the videos included: 'Matt's actually so sweet,' and one that read: 'He's actually perfect don't care what anyone says.' But it seems not everyone is a fan of the politician. Earlier today, campaigners flew a plane over the camp with a message for him, which read: 'Covid bereaved say get out of here!' Organised by campaign group 38 Degrees – which is working with Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice – the 35ft banner circled the Australian camp for two hours.

Organised by campaign group 38 Degrees – which is working with Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice – the 35ft banner circled the Australian camp for two hours Mr Hancock has been front and centre of the series since he joined as a late arrival last week, being voted for the majority of the trials and being crowned as camp leader. Many viewers expressed their boredom at what had become 'The Matt Hancock Show'. Tonight is the first episode since his arrival in which he doesn't have to take part in a trial. Boy George, Chris Moyles and Babatunde Aleshe will take part in 'Angel of Agony' which sees them fighting through snakes and cockroaches to unscrew stars inside a replica of the Angel Of The North statue. Last week Mr Hancock said he 'messed up and fessed up' to the rule-breaking affair that led to his resignation during the Covid pandemic. He said he 'fell in love' with his former aide Gina Coladangelo, with whom he breached social distancing guidance when they were caught kissing in his ministerial office. He told campmates: 'I messed up and I fessed up. I resigned and it's no excuse but I fell in love, right? That also had a lot of other consequences obviously. 'That's been hard. I obviously brought it on myself, so yeah… it's been tough.' Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
