Ruthie Henshall on Matt Hancock joining I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

The West Suffolk MP Matt Hancock has been suspended as a Conservative MP after joining the cast of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Mr Hancock will swap representing his constituents at Westminster for eating bugs in the jungle.

But Tory party managers have taken a dim view of the West Suffolk MP's decision to take part in a reality TV show while Parliament is sitting.

The Tory chief whip said it was "serious enough" to warrant suspension.

Andy Drummond, deputy chairman of the West Suffolk Conservative Association, said he was looking forward to seeing Mr Hancock "eating a kangaroo's penis".

So what is in store for Matt?

Suffolk West End star Ruthie Henshall was on the show in 2020 - she talks to Wayne Bavin about her experience.
