Disgruntled Radio DJ Chris Moyles has branded his I’m A Celeb campmate Matt Hancock “fake” a week after leaving the jungle.
The 48-year-old laid bare his true feelings on his Radio X show, admitting he stormed off the ITV reality series amid an ongoing feud with the MP.
Chris said: “Matt Hancock kind of dived around a few questions I thought, and then said, ‘I guess all I'm just asking for is forgiveness’.
"At that point I had to walk out of camp and just get away because I personally found that quite fake. And that really wound me up."
Matt, who came into the jungle seeking “a bit of forgiveness” after his Covid scandals, has been at the centre of feud rumours in recent weeks.
Despite that, he made it to the final and finished third, while Chris left in sixth positon.
Chris has now claimed that the former Health Secretary, 44, had no right being on the Ant and Dec-fronted reality show.
He added: "He's an MP and he's paid to look after people and their interests and hopefully make their lives better. I don't know how he does that by going on the jungle show."
Matt’s stint on I’m A Celeb garnered 1,100 complaints to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom, and while he was popular with viewers of the show he has already seemingly detached himself from his campmates on the outside.
He was absent from the ‘unofficial’ final dinner hosted by the I’m A Celeb stars themselves, while Scarlette Douglas also confirmed Matt has been excluded from the WhatsApp group chat.
Yet Matt had nothing but positive things to say about his co-stars, telling Mail+: “I didn’t feel bullied in the jungle. I felt people asked the questions respectfully.
“They challenged me directly and I respect that. It was a lot more collegiate than it looked on TV."
This week, the politician threw a glitzy bash to celebrate the launch of his highly controversial memoir, Pandemic Diaries, at London's Science Museum, which was bizarrely attended by Love Island's Faye Winter and Teddy Soares.
The couple defended their support for the disgarced PM, with faye writing on her Instagram stories: "Yes we went to Matt Hancock's book release.
“Why? Because we are here for the person not the media-portraid phasard. Noone should deal with that alone.”
Meanwhile, Chris has nicer things to say about his other co-stars.
Speaking about comedian Seann Walsh on his show, he added: “He has had a really, really hard time career wise, and mental health wise since.
"He was very open about it, and has come on the show to basically to say, ‘I'm really not a bad guy, can I start again’. Which is really honest and takes a lot of balls."
