Matt Hancock may have breached ministerial rules with I’m a Celebrity move

Anti-corruption watchdog writing to ex-health secretary

Matt Hancock may have broken ministerial rules by failing to ask the authorities for permission to head to the jungle to appear on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The former health secretary did not ask the anti-corruption watchdog whether it was appropriate to join the reality show.

The chair of the advisory committee on business appointments (Acoba), Tory peer Eric Pickles, is set to write to Mr Hancock to seek an explanation, The Independent understands.
