Josie Gibson slams I’m A Celebrity star Matt Hancock over MP salary and says he makes her ‘cringe’
TV presenter Josie Gibson has slammed I'm A Celebrity's Matt Hancock over his mammoth MP salary, saying he makes her "cringe".
The This Morning star hit out that the former Health Secretary should decide whether he's an "MP or a celebrity".
Josie, 37, reacted to Matt, 44, opening up about his time as Health Secretary on screen earlier this week - when he apologised to his co-stars for his affair with his aide Gina Coladangelo.
The presenter hit out that she felt the politician, who is still representing his West Suffolk constituency, should be brought into the "real world" as she slammed his huge salary.
Matt - who is rumoured to be banking a mammoth £400,000 for his I'm A Celeb appearance - is still receiving his MP salary.
Matt is said to be earning £84,144 a year, but separate account saw him claim £227,673 in expenses between February last year and January .

Josie told : "He doesn't live in the real world, does he? The thing that I don't agree with, he's still on an MP salary.
"See, you're either on an MP salary or you're a celebrity in the jungle."
Josie continued that she was left "cringing" at his jungle appearance, as she reacted to the "whole country talking" about the politician.
"It's so bad that it's brilliant, the whole country is talking about it," she added. "Don't get me wrong, he cringes me out.
"There's a lot of people that are really angry you know, rightly so, I don't know whether he has gone in there to show everybody his real side but it just makes me cringe. Imagine if he won?!"

It comes after Josie opened up about loving her figure more than ever as she spilled the beans about her love life.
The TV star, who has slimmed from a size 20 to size 14, says she feels more body-confident after having her son Reggie four years ago.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Josie said: "I always try and look after my skin and use a really good skin care. I always live life to the max, I love to take full advantage of everything in life.
"I wish there was a new diet, I keep telling myself I'm going to do it, but I never get onto it.
"I think after I had Reggie, my little one is four-years-old now, I was instantly more body confident because your body has done something so spectacular, you can't do anything but love it.
"It's made a lovely little boy for me, and you can't help but love it after because it's so brilliant that my body was able to do that. After I had Reg I was always more body confident anyway whatever size.
"I think I honestly came into myself when I had Reg, more confident, I view myself more as a woman, and my career started off when I had Reg.
