Matt Hancock and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here: What is it about politicians and reality TV?

Why you can trust Paste BN

Matt Hancock, the former health secretary, is going on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! He was suspended from the Conservative Party after news broke he was heading to the Australian jungle - but he's not the first politician, or probably the last, to risk political ruin for the bright lights of show business.

On the Paste BN Daily, Sally Lockwood gets the temperature in Westminster with Jon Craig, Paste BN' chief political correspondent, and speaks to Lembit Opik, the former MP and I'm A Celebrity contestant, about the pros and cons of doing reality TV as a politician.
