Don’t expect Matt Hancock to make an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show anytime soon as the presenter has made it perfectly clear that he does not like the politician – and he didn’t mince his words either.

Hancock is still living it up in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle after surviving the first elimination of the series on Friday.

While many have begged the question of what will be next for the sitting MP after his stint on the ITV programme, Ross has made it known that he has zero plans to interview him on his chat show.

Asked if he’d give Hancock a seat on his sofa, Ross said: ‘No, I wouldn’t. He’s not a celebrity.’

He continued to the Sunday People: ‘He’s a horrible human being and I cannot bear the way people take no responsibility for their actions.’

In recent I’m A Celebrity scenes, Hancock admitted to his fellow campmates that he made a ‘mistake’ and regrets the actions that led to his resignation as health secretary.

He also told them that one of his motivations for coming on the show was to seek a ‘bit of forgiveness’ from the public.

Hancock has faced fierce criticism from opposition politicians and from within his own party for joining the show, with the Tory whip suspended.

A spokesperson for the MP for West Suffolk previously said that the MP hopes to raise awareness about his dyslexia campaign while in the jungle.

During Saturday’s programme, Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver expressed doubts over whether Hancock is genuine.

‘In his world he’s intelligent but he’s not worldly wise in other ways,’ she said. ‘He doesn’t live in the same world.

‘I mean, I’ve really tried to like open up, talk, be nice and everything. I always feel there’s something that’s not quite genuine.

‘I find it really hard to get past that, that time when he did that whole thing and he said he was really emotional and he says “I’ve come in here to ask for forgiveness”, I actually thought he was being authentic and I gave him a hug.

‘And then I want to be nice, I want to be friendly, I want to do all the right things but I just don’t believe I’m getting anything genuine.’

The Jonathan Ross Show airs Saturdays at 10.10pm on ITV.
