Suffolk MP Matt Hancock will enter the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle later today, it has been confirmed.

The former Health Secretary, 44, is expected to join the original contestants in camp after spending a period of time in isolation.

It is understood his entrance will be teased by co-hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly during Tuesday night’s show.

Following his decision to join the reality series, Mr Hancock, who represents West Suffolk, had the Conservative whip suspended and came under fire from across the political divide for opting to sign up at a time when Parliament is sitting.

Andy Drummond, deputy chairman of West Suffolk Conservative Association, previously said he was looking forward to Mr Hancock "eating a kangaroo’s penis".

Comedian Seann Walsh, who has been widely reported as the second surprise entry, is also expected to join the campsite shortly.

The news was first reported by MailOnline.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is airing at 9pm on Tuesday on ITV.
