The petition’s bio reads: “Matt Hancock isn’t a ‘celebrity’, he’s the health secretary who oversaw the UK having one of the highest death tolls in the world from Covid-19 whilst breaking his own lockdown rule. Plan auto-renews until cancelled Try for free At the time of his resignation, the group said it was “clear Matt Hancock needs to go and it’s absolutely right that he’s gone”. Matt Hancock’s ‘I’m a Celebrity’ involvement has angered TV viewers Co-founder Jo Goodman said: “While this government was preaching social distancing, the health secretary was acting like it was one rule for him and another rule for everyone else. It’s a pattern of behaviour we’ve seen across government over this period and it cuts deep with bereaved families who’ve been doing everything we can to follow the rules and protect others.” ITV told The Independent: “We announced the line-up yesterday and so we’ve nothing to add to the speculation.” I’m a Celebrity starts on Sunday 6 November at 9pm on ITV, and will feature, among others, singer Boy George, DJ Chris Moyles and Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver.
