Fury after ‘abhorrent’ Matt Hancock eats camel’s penis and cow’s anus while watched by millions on I’m A Celebrity
CAMPAIGNERS last night blasted Matt Hancock for scoffing a camel’s todger on I’m A Celebrity — while his campmates slaughtered him over his Covid grope.
The ex-Health Secretary was branded “abhorrent” after millions saw him chow down on the humped beast’s bits.

Hancock, 44 — forced by viewers to do his second Bushtucker Trial — was also faced with a sheep’s vagina, cow’s anus and fish-eye tacos.
He was joined by vegetarian pop legend Boy George, 61, who was confronted with a plate of fermented plums.
Animal activists let rip at MP Hancock, a controversial £400,000 signing for the ITV reality show.
Kate Rae, of the Wild Camel Protection Foundation, told The Sun: “Why would anyone want to eat a penis from any animal?

“It’s supposed to be funny and yes, people may laugh, but animals are becoming endangered enough as it is with changing climates and other threats.
“I think things like this will encourage people to think these animals can be killed and eaten.
"And you would expect MPs like Mr Hancock to be setting an example — but this is abhorrent and just odd.”
Amid rising tension, Hancock was also pummelled by his campmates on last night’s show over his workplace clinch with an aide, which saw him quit as Health Secretary last year.

The Sun exposed his workplace affair - which breached his own lockdown rules.
Asked by telly host Scarlette Douglas why he broke his own lockdown guidance, Hancock replied: “Because it was a mistake, because I fell in love with somebody.”
Scarlette snapped: “But you did it anyway?”
Hancock said: “That’s why I apologised for it. I feel very . . . ”
Scarlette then chipped in: “You just do it and then afterwards it’s like, ‘Oh, I’m sorry’.”
He replied: “No, because it’s bigger than that.”
Newsreader Charlene White then said: “It’s massively bigger than that.
"My aunt died from Covid in the first wave.
“So we couldn’t go to the hospital to go and visit her. I had to sit by myself in the church at her funeral.
“We couldn’t hug each other because we were following guidance.
“And I get that you fell in love, I understand all of those things, but ‘sorry’ for a lot of families like mine doesn’t really cut it.”
Hancock said: “Yeah. Well, there you go. That’s one of the reasons that I regret it as much as I do.”

However he insisted he did not regret the way he handled the pandemic and defended his record on PPE and care homes.
Hancock also said there will be an inquiry — to which Lioness Jill Scott quipped: “Tucker trials practise for your big trial?”
