Matt Hancock’s showbiz career hits major stumbling block after surprise I’m A Celebrity success

POLITICIAN Matt Hancock has supposedly suffered a setback to his showbiz career weeks after leaving I’m A Celebrity.

The former health secretary has called off his search for a celebrity agent after struggling to break into the industry, according to the Mirror.

The paper reports MP Matt asked his famous pals who he should have represent him, but hasn’t been snapped up.

He’s said to have hoped to mimic Ed Balls’ career after finding success outside of politics on Strictly Come Dancing and hosting Good Morning Britain.

However a spokesman for Mr Hancock insisted it’s him who’s turned down representation.

They said: “Matt has had lots of offers from agents wanting to represent him, but he’s turned them all down as he doesn’t want or need an agent.”

Matt was expected to be the first to leave I’m A Celebrity after his controversial signing last month.

But he turned public opinion around and finished third in the final, losing only to Owen Warner and winner Jill Scott.

After leaving the jungle, the politician threw a glitzy bash to celebrate the launch of his highly controversial memoirs, Pandemic Diaries..

Former Made In Chelsea star Georgia Toffolo revealed she was banned from his book launch after a scathing rant on This Morning.

Georgia – known as Toff – gave her reaction to Matt being paid £400,000 to go on the ITV show after The Sun exposed his Covid rule-breaking affair with aide Gina Coladangelo.

She claims it didn’t go down well with Matt’s staff, telling hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: “This will make you laugh.

“My friend in Westminster told me that I was on the guest list for his big book launch in a couple of weeks, but after that I’ve been scrapped off.”
