It would probably be the biggest coup in the history of “I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!”, the British counterpart of the jungle camp. Ex-Prime Minister Liz Truss (47) is said to be among the favorites to take part in the upcoming edition, which is scheduled to start in November of this year. The betting-loving Britons can even bet money on whether the politician, who has been prime minister for just 38 days, moves to the Australian jungle.
However, the current odds on offer suggest that Truss Stand is now more of a risk bet. Accordingly, the chances are 25:1 that Truss will actually follow Down Under after 10 Downing Street.
The scenario remains realistic: Even before the previous issue, very few people could have imagined that Matthew “Matt” Hancock (44), the former British Minister of Health, would take part in the trash format. But that’s exactly what the politician did, despite all the prophecies of doom, and in the 22nd season of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” in the end even third place.
He justified his participation, for which he is said to have received the alleged record fee of 400,000 pounds (around 450,000 euros), with the intention of wanting to show the audience his “human side”. A spokesman for Hancock said he donated the money to a hospice, among other things.
A fun fact at the end: A copy of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” comprises 19 days – in Truss’ case half a term of office.
