McPartlin and Donnelly can be seen laughing as the pair argue. Following the announcement that he would be joining the show, the West Suffolk MP was stripped of his Conservative Party whip and Premier Rishi Sunak also expressed his “disappointment” at the decision to sign up. Speaking ahead of his debut on the show, Hancock said: ‘I’ve never met a snake up close so I’m quite apprehensive about anything to do with snakes. “I’m not claustrophobic, or at least I haven’t been, but that’s the thing about I’m A Celebrity – it’s the unknown. “I’ve watched the show over the years, I love the way it gets to the core of people, but it’s also really fun.” Asked whether he thought his colleagues in Parliament and the British public would vote for him to do the trials, he added: “I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up doing some of the trials. “Hopefully I can earn some stars for the camp, but mostly I’m looking forward to being myself.”
