Matt Hancock could be ruled out of doing certain Bushtucker Trials on I’m A Celeb

It could be linked to a previous television appearance

Matt Hancock could be able to duck out of some Bushtucker Trials on this year's series of 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' due to a secret health condition, it has been reported. The Tory MP is expected to be voted to do the vast majority of the gruesome trials following the news that he would be heading into the jungle. But the public may not get the opportunity to make the politician suffer quite as much as they'd like, because of a medical condition he suffered in a previous television appearance. According to the Sun, Hancock got trench foot while filming 'Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins' and it might not have cleared up. A source said: "When he was filming SAS Who Dares Wins in October, Matt got trench foot - in fact, a lot of the cast did. "It can take up to six months to recover from that, so any water-based tasks or swimming trials would be bad news for his feet."

The petition, set up by Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice. says that Hancock's appearance on the programme will "cause real pain and anguish to those of us who lost loved ones to Covid-19."
