The former Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, has had the Conservative Party whip removed after he agreed to appear on the reality TV show “I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!”

Hancock, the Tory MP for West Suffolk, announced on Tuesday he had decided to accept ITV’s offer to appear in the hit show, in which celebrities travel to Australia, spend time in a jungle format, and have to carry out a series of onerous tasks, including eating insects or sharing a cage with snakes.
