Piers Morgan SLAMS Matt Hancock over I’m A Celeb appearance saying it’s a ‘smack in the face’ to British public
PIERS Morgan has furiously blasted Matt Hancock being on I’m A Celebrity as a “smack in the face” to the British public.
The TalkTV presenter insists the former health secretary was responsible for “countless more Covid deaths than there should have been” after he sent elderly hospital patients back to nursing homes without being tested.
In an angry monologue on his show, Piers Morgan: Uncensored last night, Piers said: “Britain’s had its fair share of failed politicians lately. Boris Johnson lied more than he tried. Our last Prime Minister Liz Truss had the shelf life of a lettuce.

“The first wave [of the pandemic] was a disaster and the Health Secretary presiding over this was Matt Hancock.
“And for him to now – before there has even been a proper inquiry into what happened and what culpability he may actually be proven to have had – for him to now go into a reality show, in a jungle for hundreds of thousands of pounds is an absolute smack in the face for people like you who had to go through so much appalling trauma of losing all these people in your homes…
