I'm a Celebrity: Jill Scott wins as Matt Hancock MP finishes third

Scott said she "couldn't believe" she had been crowned Queen of the Jungle, winning the public vote.

Hancock's participation in the show has been controversial and he had the Tory whip suspended as a result.

He said he took part as "I wanted to show what I'm like as a person.

"Lots of people come to me with pre-conceived ideas for obvious reasons, and I just wanted to be myself," he continued.

"But I also believe that for politicians as a whole, we don't come across as human enough. And this is probably the most extreme way of showing who you are."

He added: "I carry with me expectations, people think they know me, and actually they don't, they know Matt Hancock from the TV and the media.

"I just went in absolutely clear that I was going to be totally myself as if their cameras weren't on and that's what I did. And that is what I'm like in private."

However, his triumph in reaching the final did not impress some fellow politicians. Business Secretary Grant Shapps said Hancock's political career was "pretty much done" after appearing on the show.

He said on Times Radio: "I do think... that his true position should have been in Parliament this last few weeks, and serving his constituents.

"You know, it's often said that... politics is showbusiness for ugly people. He should be with us uglies back in the House rather than the jungle down under."

Hancock took part in 10 Bushtucker trials during his time in the jungle, five of which were the result of a public vote.
