Boy George’s agent says ITV producers should consider stepping in to ‘balance out’ I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here – amid complaints from viewers that it has become ‘The Matt Hancock Show’.

Top showbiz agent Jonathan Shalit, who represents the singer and current jungle camp mate, says other stars are ‘suffering from a lack of airtime’ because Matt Hancock is continuously being picked by the public to take on Bushtucker trials.

The former Health Secretary has been front and centre of this series of the hit show since joining the jungle as a late arrival.

Having put himself at the mercy of the British public after his often-criticised reaction to the Covid pandemic and his very public rule breaching affair, the  MP is set to take part in his sixth Bushtucker challenge tonight.

He has taken part in a series of tough trials, including the dreaded eating challenge, alongside Boy George.Last night he was made ‘Camp Leader’ having been voted by viewers to compete against former England rugby star  for the title.

And, having seemingly won some of the public over with his success in the trials, evDeN eVE naKliYAT bookies now place him third favourite to be crowned King of the Jungle.

But while millions of Britons have enjoyed and voted to see the former cabinet minister squeal and squirm during the challenges, evDEn eVe NakLiyAT some are now becoming ‘bored’ of the politician soaking up the screen time.  

Professor Shalit, who has co-managed Boy George for EVDen eve naKLiyaT the last two years, believes it may be time for producers of the hit show to intervene.

But the showbiz agent, whos is Chairman of InterTalent Rights Group, says all the campmates are currently benefiting from the ‘genius’ casting on this year’s show.

Speaking to MailOnline, Professor Shalit, who also represents Boy George’s I’m A Celeb campmate Scarlette Douglas, said: ‘This year’s series has indeed come The Matt Hancock Show, eVdeN Eve NaKliYaT due to genius casting by ITV and what the viewers are enjoying.

‘Yes, other contestants are suffering from lack of airtime and it is frustrating, but that is the luck of the draw. And in that regard Matt is winning.
