Hancock, who is currently MP for West Suffolk, resigned from his cabinet position in 2021 after a leaked video showed him breaking social distancing guidelines by kissing Coladangelo, then his aide, while both were married to other people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The news that the politician would appear on the ITV show sparked controversy, prompting criticism from the COVID-19 Bereaved Families for Justice campaign and leading to Hancock losing the whip and being suspended from the Tory party<\/a> \u201cwith immediate effect\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He arrived in the jungle<\/a> several days after the rest of the celebrity campmates, entering the show alongside comedian Seann Walsh<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Hancock ended up competing in numerous stomach-churning Bushtucker Trials and eventually made it to the finale, coming in third place behind Hollyoaks star Owen Warner<\/a> and new Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s fair to say that Matt underestimated the scale of the reaction to him coming into the jungle,\u201d Coladangelo said during <\/span>I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026Get Me Out Of Here! The Coming Out Show, which will air on ITV tomorrow.<\/p>\n She revealed that her final piece of advice to her partner before he left for the show was to \u201cjust be yourself, be the Matt I know and it\u2019ll go really well\u201d, although she also admitted that she \u201cthought Matt was leaving <\/span>the jungle everyday\u201d, so she was \u201cpleasantly surprised he\u2019s made it this far\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> In scenes showing Hancock and Coladangelo travelling back from the camp to the show\u2019s production hub, the politician asked his girlfriend whether he was \u201cauthentically me\u201d during his time on TV.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt took a few days, I felt, for you to relax,\u201d she responded, prompting him to recall his experience of being \u201cgrilled\u201d by fellow campmates in his \u201cearly days\u201d in the jungle.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen I was being grilled in the early days, I felt like people were asking me on behalf of the British public,\u201d he said. \u201cI knew going in it would be controversial but I also know millions of people have voted for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n After the finale, ITV revealed that Hancock received 21.72 per cent of the vote, compared to Warner\u2019s 30.99 per cent share and eventual champion Scott\u2019s 47.29 per cent share<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out of Here!
