Matt Hancock was voted for by the public to take on a series of trials on the showOfcom has received 1,100 complaints about former health secretary Matt Hancock appearing on the ITV show I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!Hancock has said he hopes to raise awareness of his dyslexia campaign while in the Australian jungle.The broadcast regulator received just under 2,000 complaints about the show in total.
While more than half of those were complaints about Hancock's involvement, some of the others were from viewers expressing concerns about how he was being treated by his campmates. In a blog post on its website, Ofcom wrote: "It's worth being aware that under our rules, in principle - and taking into account freedom of expression - there's no ban on any particular person taking part in programmes.
"However, if the mere presence of a person is likely to cause offence, we would expect broadcasters to take steps to mitigate or justify that offence. How they do that editorially, is up to them." Hancock was suspended from the Conservative parliamentary party after it emerged he was taking part in the show.
1,100 need to get a life.
Not sure why they should complain. Don’t people want villains on tv these days 😂
Why? It’s more entertaining that plastic people island
Hope he wins
They probably put him in the show to get more viewings!!! Shower of shit that show!!!
That’s pretty low to what I imagined tbf 😂 boris had 3 weeks off in a lovely warm country, why can’t Matt? 🤷🏼♀️ yes he’s in the jungle but may be using holiday allowance to be there.. also donating his wages to charity
Presumably they just go straight in the bin? That’s not what OfCom’s for.
KateAndrs Mediaeval stocks.
I miss his pink tie. 😢
Whoever thought of inviting Matt Hancock into camp this year is a genius... SO many people are watching and talking about the series that would never even think about watching it.
🤣
he ant said out bad in there it they will brush them away
Matt to win 👍🏻
Only 1100 must be a lot higher bbc you lie to us
1100 more C.U.N.T.S added to the list
I'll be voting for Matt Hancock to stay, no ego like some others in there. Boy (moaning) George never shuts up & seems bitter & angry. He's a predictable bore 🙄
Even though he is feeding the socialist?
Surely he needs 24 7 security, cos the public are enraged !!
Politics is a popularity game show. BorisJohnson made sure of that. I’m bored, you’re boring… Next contestant please…
If I were one of his constituents, I don't think I'd be particularly happy at him being in there while Parliament is sitting. Nevertheless, I don't see that it's got anything whatsoever to do with Ofcom
Are you sure it is only 1100 complaints?
Thought there would have been many more than that 😂
Hancock is the best of a bad bunch in the camp! Probably the worst set of so called celebrities they have had this year!
1100 Corbynistas
Comedy at its finest.
Absolutely pathetic.
And they're just from his ex wife.
Frankly that does not surprise me one bit.
If only the dead could vote it would be a lot more
As someone said on the radio today all people do is attack people on a personal level labelling people never think you know what I might actually listen to them and make an informed opinion.
The left really are not nice people, they pretend to be but are not..
BBC have removed and reposted to get rid of comments. Get to it folks! 👍
I really don’t know if these people know they’re garnering support for Hancock with this madness.
nothing wrong with matt, if there’s a complaint it should be about boy george and his false imprisonment and abuse of a man he’d handcuffed to a radiator?
He should be in jail, not in an Australian jungle faffing around.
*so far
You can't stop talking about him can you beeb! When something feels unnatural and wrong to be pushed again again in the media, its usually because those shadowy puppeteers are pulling strings. Matt Hancock has puppet written all over him.
Now put o rab next to him and brothers
People have nothing better to do with their time.
Imagine having the time and energy to waste on this 🙄
BBC… checks… ‘news’.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 complaints about what FFS Ofcom it’s been really good to see, and I don’t like any politicians but MattHancock up to now is showing good team work, a nice smile and a good laugh! Get over it
Dont watch the shite
Complaints about a convicted criminal for abduction and violence beating person up? Yes he went to prison this only shows doing bad crime is fine breaking law finas you'll get paid thousands Boy George shouldn't have gone in Give me Matt any day as he DIDN'T ATTACK ABUSE ANYONE
If you Don’t like it, don’t watch it
Yep. The complaints are mostly about him not being asked to eat a dog turd.
