Matt Hancock has said "survival in the jungle is a good metaphor for the world I work in", ahead of entering I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
The former health secretary's arrival in the Australian jungle was teased during Tuesday evening's episode of the hit ITV reality show.
Speaking in a video clip played at the end of the show, Hancock, 44, said: "When I'm in camp, people will just see the real me. Survival in the jungle is a good metaphor for the world I work in.
"People will see me warts and all. See the human side of the guy behind the podium.
"I don't think I've got any fears or phobias, but I'm about to find out."
