Disgraced former Health Secretary Matt Hancock will appear on this year's series of I'm A Celeb but how much is the Tory MP worth?
Soap stars, sporting heroes and other famous faces came together in the Australian jungle as the ITV reality show returned for its 20th series on Sunday.
The Tory politician, 44, who was forced to resign from cabinet after an affair with a work colleague was exposed, is expected to controversially join the series as a latecomer.
While ITV has yet to officially confirm the Tory MP's participation, Ant and Dec teased his involvement in the opening show.
Hancock was also stripped of the Conservative Whip following a conversation with Chief Whip Simon Hart who deemed the "matter serious enough to warrant suspension of the whip with immediate effect."
When does Matt Hancock enter the I'm a Celeb jungle?
Matt Hancock has already been in Australia for around a week after he was spotted at Brisbane Airport.
His entrance into the jungle is expected very soon and is thought to be even within the first week.
Mr Hancock is not the first politician to take part in the series including the former Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale and the former junior health minister Edwina Currie.
