A huge banner has flown over the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! campsite demanding Matt Hancock is axed from the ITV series.

The sitting MP has received a spate of backlash since it was first reported he was due to appear on the show, with the criticism showing no sign of slowing down since he entered the jungle as a latecomer alongside comedian Seann Walsh.

New pictures have revealed a small aircraft jetted above the set of the reality programme with a massive 35 metre banner that read: ‘Covid bereaved say get out of here!’

Last week, Hancock told his fellow campmates that he was ‘looking for forgiveness’ after being grilled on breaking his own lockdown rules.

Many will remember how the politician was caught cheating on his wife, who is the mother of his children, when CCTV exposed him kissing his aide Gina Coladangelo.

In the Bush Telegraph, Hancock said: ‘In a way, lots of the campmates asked questions that the public have got as well, and it’s only respectful to just give completely straight and truthful answers.’

When Scarlette Douglas pressed Hancock on his actions, he replied: ‘That’s why I apologised for it.’

Loose Women’s Charlene Douglas then grilled Hancock with her own personal story, saying ‘sorry doesn’t cut it.’

She shared: ‘It’s massively bigger than that. My aunt died from Covid in the first wave. So, we couldn’t go to the hospital to go and visit her.

‘I had to sit by myself in the church at her funeral. We couldn’t hug each other because we were following guidance.

‘And I get that you fell in love, I understand all of those things, but sorry for a lot of families like mine doesn’t really cut it.’

Scarlette echoed: ‘It’s not enough.’

Hancock admitted stories like that are why he ‘regrets’ what happened before Charlene questioned: ‘Do you have regret regarding the way that as Health Minister you dealt with the pandemic as a whole?’

He replied: ‘So the pandemic as a whole no, I’m much, much more robust in my defence of it,’ before defending his actions as health secretary.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
