‘I do believe in second chances,’ Babatunde proclaimed

Comedian Babatunde Aleshe has confirmed that Matt Hancock is no longer in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Whatsapp group.

The ex-health secretary joined the likes of Lioness Jill Scott, Boy George, and the show’s first royal Mike Tindall in the well-known reality series, finishing up in third place.

Still, there has been some confusion regarding whether he’s kept in touch with his co-stars.

A Place In The Sun presenter Scarlette Douglas addressed the group back in December, saying Hancock wasn’t part of it but she wanted to stay in touch with her castmates.

‘I’m not the admin of that WhatsApp group so if Mike wishes to invite him he absolutely can, but it’s not my place to extend the invitation so we’ll see what happens,’ she had said.

Not long after, Tindall clarified: ‘I think there’s been a misunderstanding with that, nobody has left the WhatsApp group.’



Allegedly, the control was in Mike Tindall’s hands

But now, Aleshe has confirmed that Hancock, 44, isn’t part of the group.

Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, he mentioned: ‘I checked today and he’s not in the group any longer.

‘I don’t know if he’s been removed or if he left voluntarily.’



The former health secretary ranked third

Aleshe also discussed his experience of living in camp with Hancock, whose presence on the show caused a lot of criticism and resulted in interrogations from the likes of Loose Women star Charlene White: ‘I won’t lie, it was tough but I attempted to make something positive out of a negative situation.

‘You’re in here, I’ve got to be your teammate and he came in flying, winning trials.

‘But at the end of the day, I do trust in second chances and I was just like let me at least try to be the nice person.’

After his 18-day stay on the show, which saw him receive a reported £320,000 fee, Hancock declared he would not stand in the next general election.



His participation on the show provoked a lot of backlash
