I'm A Celebrity's Matt Hancock revealed what he told former Prime Minister Boris Johnson before handing in his letter of resignation.
The campmates' mood was lower than usual following an unsuccessful bushtucker trial that failed to bring back a decent meal. For the first time in five days, Mr Hancock was finally given a brief respite as he was no longer a victim of the public vote.
Whilst Boy George and Babatunde faced the creepy crawlies, the rest of the camp discussed the Conservative party and why the former Prime Minister, Liz Truss, didn't last. Mr Hancock admitted he felt like an elephant in the room and that all questions were being pitched directly to him.

After sharing his experiences with other Tory members, some of the campmates were curious about his relationship with Boris Johnson. They asked what it was like working so closely with such a controversial character and what went on behind closed doors in his final days in office.
Matt, along with the majority of Conservatives, resigned under Mr Johnson stating he wasn't fit to be Prime Minister in a mass vote of no confidence. Mr Hancock shared exactly what he told Mr Johnson, revealing he was warned the Prime Minister via text.
He said: "I text him when he was on holiday saying it's just not your time, we need to back Rishi [Sunak]." The campmates were somewhat taken back by the admission but couldn't delve into the topic any further as Boy George and Babatunde then returned from their trial.
