Coronation Street star Tony Maudsley issues warning to Matt Hancock ahead of Sue Cleaver’s I’m A Celebrity stint

Matt Hancock and Sue Cleaver are heading to the jungle

Coronation Street star Tony Maudsley has taken to Twitter to warn Matt Hancock ahead of his stint on I’m a Celebrity this year.

Tony’s fellow co-star, Sue Cleaver, is also heading to the jungle and will be Matt’s campmate.

However, Tony has now encouraged Matt to get on the right side of Sue.

Matt and Sue head to the jungle

Sue Cleaver is swapping the cobbles for the Australian jungle this year as she stars in I’m a Celebrity.

She’s said to be very excited to be spending time in the jungle and challenging herself in trials.

A source told The Sun: “Sue is a very much-loved Street legend and the bosses are delighted to have her as part of the line-up this year.”

“She will be a brilliant addition, and is looking forward to really pushing out of her comfort zone and challenging herself in the jungle.”

Joining Sue will be the late addition to the line-up, Matt Hancock.

Matt is ditching his role in Parliament for a spot of reality TV – quite the change.

Although Matt has been hit by a big backlash for signing up for the series, he is ready to take on what the jungle has in store for him.

This wouldn’t be his first stint in a reality TV competition however, as Matt has recently finished filming Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Will Matt and Sue become favourites with the public?
