Hancock donates just 3 % of £320k I'm a Celebrity fee to charity
Former cabinet minister Matt Hancock

MATT HANCOCK was paid £320,000 to appear on I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, of which just 3 per cent has been donated to charity, it has been revealed.

The disgraced former health secretary has donated just £10,000 of the whopping sum, according to the MPs’ register of financial interests. 

Mr Hancock’s appearance on the reality TV show last year was branded insulting by bereaved families who lost loved ones to Covid-19.
