Campaign groups have flown a plane protesting Matt Hancock’s appearance on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! over the show’s camp.
On Tuesday (15 November) between 11am and 1pm Australian time, a plane was flown over the camp where the contestants are based in the jungle.
Attached to the vehicle was a bearing a 35-metre-long banner, which reads: “Covid Bereaved Say Get Out Of Here!”
The protest came from campaign groups 38 Degrees and Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice, after more than 44,000 people signed a petition calling for ITV to reverse their decision to make Hancock a campmate.
The former health secretary, who resigned as health secretary last year after violating his own Covid regulations when he was caught kissing his aide, was stripped of the Tory whip for appearing on the show.
Hancock entered the jungle as a “bombshell” contestant alongside Seann Walsh four episodes into the series.
