Matt Hancock is back in the news... controversially, for agreeing to swap representing his constituents in Westminster, for eating bugs in the jungle. The former Health Secretary - who was among the team leading the government's response to the Covid pandemic - has been suspended as a Conservative MP for doing so. The move has also been viewed dimly by people who lost loved ones. The campaign group Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice have criticised Mr Hancock's decision as "sickening" - and has called for ITV to remove him from the programme. So is it right for politicians to put themselves forward on Celebrity shows - and what does this mean for Matt Hancock? Some of the questions tackled by Sarah Montague and guests on Radio 4's World at One. Image Credit: Karwei Tang via Getty Images
