Suffolk MP Matt Hancock will reportedly receive a fee of around £350,000 for appearing on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! which is set to begin this Sunday.

PR expert Mark Borkowski shared the estimation with The Mail based on Noel Edmunds’ £500,000 fee.

He said: “They paid Noel Edmunds £500,000 and that was a top booking. Either Hancock is desperate for the visibility or the money... if it's the money I'd expect £350,000."

The exact fee is still unknown although he will be invited to share his earnings with parliament after the show.

Hancock was confirmed as a late arrival on this series of the show on Tuesday, he will be joining the show with Seann Walsh.

Mr Hancock will be making “a donation” to St Nicholas Hospice in Suffolk from his fee while attempting to shine a light on his dyslexia campaign when appearing on the show.

He faced fresh Tory criticism over his decision to join I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! as he arrived in Australia for the show.

The former Health Secretary said he is entering the ITV programme’s jungle to “go to where the people are – not to sit in ivory towers in Westminster”.

He insisted “I haven’t lost my marbles” by deciding to join the reality show after being suspended from the parliamentary Conservative Party.

The West Suffolk MP claimed his “first priority” is to his constituents as he flew more than 10,000 miles to join the ITV show, which starts on Sunday.

Ian Houlder, a Conservative councillor on West Suffolk Council, said Mr Hancock has “no shame”.
