Matt Hancock has so far donated just 3 per cent of the fee he was paid for appearing on I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! to charity, it has been revealed.

The former health secretary received £320,000 for his three-week stint on the reality show, of which £10,000 was donated to charity, according to the register of MPs’ financial interests.

The former health secretary vowed he would use the “incredible platform” to raise awareness of dyslexia after facing criticism from politicians and the public for appearing on the show.
