The ex-health secretary says politicians should 'go where the people are' and not 'sit in ivory towers'.

Mr Hancock has said he will donate some of his fee for the programme - which he will have to declare in the Register of Members' Interests - to charity.

But Mr Hancock has rejected the criticisms, writing that it is the job of politicians to engage with people. Mr Hancock isn't the first politician to enter the jungle - he follows in the footsteps of former Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries and ex-Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale. But he said with Mr Sunak now in post as prime minister, the political climate was "stable" enough to allow him to take up the opportunity - and he said he has agreed with the show's producers he can be reached at any point on any urgent constituency matters.Watch: Fellow MP Michael Fabricant warns Matt Hancock about his own "awful" reality TV stint
