Is it just me but how on earth can MH justify being on I'm a celebrity.....
He is not a bloody celebrity but he is a serving MP.
It beggars belief that with the cost of living spiralling for everyone he sees fit to fly to the other side of the world on a jolly and being handsomely paid to boot as well as picking up his MP salary.
I'm sure his constituents would consider his talents would be put to better use at home.

Well, you always read about the consequences on the other thread about this.

StoneofDestiny · 01/11/2022 19:06

Well - he's learned from the worst! Johnson has been on 3 holidays since being kicked out as PM. Do you think he's being doing any of the MP work he is paid for from his beaches?
Do you think Hancock, Johnson, Curie, Merchant, Mellor, Major were busily working on behalf of their constituents while having extra marital affairs? Working so hard they think they should be paid more!

PinkiOcelot · 01/11/2022 19:07

Exactly. How is he a celebrity?!

Madeintowerhamlets · 01/11/2022 19:10

I reckon he’s looking for a way to stay relevant & maybe get the public back on side. I’m hoping it blows up in his face big time.

Crazykefir · 01/11/2022 19:10

I hope he is handed his arse. What a contemptuous prick.

the80sweregreat · 01/11/2022 19:12

ITV must be delighted as it'll be even more popular now his going on it.
It was even the headline news on bbc one at six this evening.
I bet they are already making up some really bad trials for him to do..

Keyansier · 01/11/2022 19:13

I'm shocked people are complaining so much about this. If you dislike him, as a lot of people do, all you have to do is pick up the phone and he'll be living off a diet of pigs bollocks and fermented duck eggs. The snakes in the HOC will seem like nothing when he's lying underground sharing his intimate space with pythons and the rest.

balalake · 01/11/2022 19:14

OP, what talents? Killing people in old people's homes? Giving PPE contracts to the local landlord and other mates?

He should be facing criminal proceedings, along with the former Prime Minister.

Topseyt123 · 01/11/2022 19:14

What talents?

I agree with you though.

Keyansier · 01/11/2022 19:14

I thought people would relish the chance at trying to get him to cry on TV Confused

Sillystripytail · 01/11/2022 19:20

Yeah, it's bloody vile. ITV aren't dumb though, they're gonna get more viewers to see him suffer. He's gonna get voted for allll the challenges. He's clearly not bothered about being a MP anymore so he's found a new career. Doesn't surprise me at all that he'd do this.

Hotcuppatea · 01/11/2022 19:22

Surely he'll be the first to be voted off. He's widely loathed.

Sorry should have made it clearer. He is an arse. Incompetent minister during covid, conducting an extra marital affair throughout. I work in the NHS I'm no fan. When I used the word talents I was being sarcastic.
The man should be sacked.

I bet all the other contestants will be relieved that he’ll be the one living off kangaroo testicles whilst getting covered in spiders and shit. The man is going to get tortured in there😂

Doingtheboxerbeat · 01/11/2022 19:26

Let him eat bollox and lots of them.

dinaminion · 01/11/2022 19:28

I actually admit to liking him when he was doing his daily Covid standups, so I was a bit shocked by his embarassing snog video. If it was just the video, without the adultery, then I could potentially have felt sorry for him. But now with this latest news he's firmly wriiten off as a person of poor judgement. I can only assume he has visited the same image consultant as Ann Widicombe, and the consultant is taking their cash while having a laugh at their expense. A fool and his money are easily parted!

Walkden · 01/11/2022 19:29

Probably figures hrs not getting reelected so trying to cash in while he can!

Minimalme · 01/11/2022 19:31

Matt exists for us to poke fun at.

I think he he has been building towards this moment his whole life.

Onionbhajisandwich · 01/11/2022 19:32

I can’t wait to see him choking down a camel anus. He’s getting voted for every single trial. Arrogant bastard.

carefulcalculator · 01/11/2022 19:33

I can't believe this and I think it is actually pretty shit for the bereaved families to watch his smug face.

FangsForTheMemory · 01/11/2022 19:33

Dear god. I hadn’t heard.

pointythings · 01/11/2022 19:52

He's my MP. This is pig in a blue rosette territory. Voters here won't care, they just want more Tory.

Croque · 01/11/2022 19:53

He is raising awareness of dyslexia and will donate his fee to his local dyslexia charity.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 01/11/2022 19:57

He’s the new Lembit Opik.

This was exactly my first thought!

Johnson holidayed during the summer recess twice whilst Starmer eats being accused of being absent (on his holiday) during an energy crisis and COL crisis and not having provided a plan (they aren't in power!)

When you been part of a central government who have got away with what they have done then you assume you'll get away with it too.

Personally I think it's double standards the fuss that's being made around him going considering others behaviour.
