Matt Hancock has won support from the unlikeliest of people following his exit from the jungle.
Sir Tony Blair said his unorthodox move to enter this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here “took courage”.
The former Labour leader even suggested that Hancock, who said entering the jungle would allow him to reach out to voters in a new way, might have had “a point”.
