Matt Hancock 'yelping' in pain after being bitten by a scorpion on ITV I'm a Celebrity
Former health secretary Matt Hancock was left 'yelping' in pain after being bitten by a scorpion. The MP for West Suffolk, who had the Tory whip suspended after it was revealed he had reportedly signed up for the popular jungle realiity show set in Australia, was attacked by the creature shortly before breakfast.
"Medics checked him over and gave him a clean bill of health but the whole camp is now watching out for them. Matt was saying afterwards it felt twice as painful as a bee sting."
