That being said, most people have already made their feelings towards his inclusion crystal clear: they can’t wait to watch the heavily criticised Covid cabinet minister scoff a whole bunch of witchetty grubs for as long as possible.
Some more than others, it would seem, as on Wednesday’s episode of Good Morning Britain, journalist Andrew Pierce had one message for him: “you’re a d***head”.
As you can see before the clip cuts off, the divisive Daily Mail columnist asks “can I say that?”, to which Susanna Reid quickly replies: “No, no! No, you can’t say that. Apologies, everyone”.
However, as proved by the reaction on social media, the majority of those watching at home didn’t seem to mind; one person wrote, “The use of the word d***head on daytime tv is totally acceptable when referring to Matt Hancock.”

The right-wing writer clearly had no regrets about his outburst either, as shortly after the show issued its apology he simply doubled down and added, “let’s hope he endures some humiliating challenges before he’s voted off”.
Hancock had the Tory party whip removed after agreeing to go into the jungle and was suspended as an MP almost immediately.

The 44-year-old said he made the decision to try and “prove that politicians are humans” and also raise awareness for a dyslexia charity campaign. However, as Pierce noted in his now-viral GMB appearance, it’s likely any attempt at a compassionate appeal will fall on deaf ears
We imagine quite a few of you are looking forward to watching this year.

National Lottery hunts for Tameside player who’s not claimed £1m winnings
Daisy Jackson
The hunt is on to find a National Lottery player in Tameside who’s won £1m – and not claimed it.
The missing millionaire won the huge prize on a Lotto ticket bought on Wednesday 1 July, somewhere in the Borough of Tameside.
But with just two months to go until the prize expires, the player has still not come forward to claim their winnings.
The winning numbers in were 5, 8, 26, 33, 39, 42 and the Bonus Ball was 54.
Now, the National Lottery is renewing its search for the millionaire, calling for the mystery winner to cash in their prize before it expires at midnight on 28 December.
National Lottery Senior Winners’ Advisor Andy Carter has been out in Tameside ‘hunting’ for the missing millionaire, visiting everywhere from Portland Basin to Hartshead Pike.
Andy said: “I’ve searched high and low across Tameside for our missing millionaire, but I’ve had no luck.

“With just two months left to claim this £1 million prize, now is the time for anyone who bought a Lotto ticket in Tameside for the 1 July draw to have another look.
“The winning ticket could be tucked away somewhere completely ordinary, while its owner has absolutely no idea they are a millionaire.
“We’d love to find the person we’ve been looking for and turn this search into a celebration. So, if you bought a ticket in the area, dig it out, check those numbers and help us find Tameside’s missing millionaire. It could be you.”
With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
