I'm a Celeb viewers angry at Matt Hancock 'gaslighting the nation' in final interview

Well, it's official - Matt Hancock has left the jungle.

But viewers back at home weren't too happy with Hancock's departing words (to put it nicely), with one even suggesting that he was 'gaslighting the nation'. You can watch a segment of the interview below:

During the sit down, he gave similar statements as he had to his fellow contestants, suggesting that people don't know the real him.

"I carry with me expectations," he said. "People think they know me but actually they don't.

"They know Matt Hancock from the TV and from the media."

When it came to discussing the grilling he received during his time in the jungle, he said: "Of course, I was expecting that."

Some of the difficult conversations were, according to his accounts, 'really enjoyable and a release', while others were 'emotional'.

The organisation argues that tens of thousands of people died during the pandemic unnecessarily.

Hancock was the Health Secretary during that time and was the subject of great controversy over issues from the very start.

These included delaying the first lockdown until after Cheltenham Festival, the questionable awarding of contracts regarding PPE, and the massively expensive contact tracing system that was broadly unfit for purpose.

Viewers have since taken to Twitter to share their distaste for Hancock's exit interview, suggesting that he brushed over some of the serious mistakes he'd made over the past few years.

What's more, some feel his departing words were manipulative and designed to improve his public image.

"People have said we’ve seen the real honest Matt Hancock behind the politician facade whilst he’s been in the jungle," wrote one.

"But this exit interview has proven that everything with him is fake, politically influenced and carefully planned by his PR team."

"Matt Hancock’s exit interview with Ant and Dec has been one of the most manipulative things I’ve ever watched," added a third.

Even Domino's Pizza chimed in, writing: "This interview with Hancock might be the most stomach churning trial we've been through yet #ImACeleb."

Ouch.
