I’m A Celeb fans vow to ‘switch off show’ as petition to remove Matt Hancock hits 20,000 signatures

thesun.co.uk:

A PETITION to remove Matt Hancock from I’m A Celebrity has hit 20,000 signatures as furious families team up to get him axed.

Pressure group Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice launched the petition yesterday, after The Sun exclusively revealed the former Health Secretary had signed up and will likely draw a staggering appearance fee.

The petition tells readers: "Matt Hancock isn't 'a celebrity' he's the health secretary who oversaw the UK having one of the highest death tolls in the world from Covid-19 whilst breaking his own lockdown rules. "The fact that he is trying to cash in on his terrible legacy, rather than showing some humility or seeking to reflect on the appalling consequences of his time in Government says it all about the sort of his person he is. "Families were ripped apart by Matt Hancock’s actions, and turning on the TV to see him being paraded around as a joke is sickening. "If he had any respect for families who lost loved ones to Covid-19, he would be sharing his private emails with the Covid Inquiry, not eating bugs on TV.
