Hancock could be voted out FRIDAY

I'M A CELEBRITY: SHAMED TORY FACING THE BOOT

- MARK JEFFERIES in Queensland, Australia

DISGRACED Tory Matt Hancock could be kicked out of the I'm a Celebrity jungle by Friday.

Show insiders believe the first contestant will leave this week and the former Health Secretary is among the favourites for the chop.

It would mean more misery for Hancock after he was stung by a scorpion, with medics rushing into camp when he screamed in pain.

A source said: "We look set for evictions to begin from Friday.

"So much has been made of him [Hancock] wanting to look human and how he wants our forgiveness. We will find out soon if some people forgive him and vote to save him."

ITV has an extended 95-minute show on Friday - this would give an evictee time to chat to Ant and Dec.

The last three series Down Under also had their first eviction before the weekend of the second week.

Hancock was attacked by the scorpion shortly before breakfast and yelled: "Ow, that really hurts.

"I've got no splinter. It's like I must have been bitten by something.
