Gogglebox star Jenny Newby has divided viewers after she clashed with Lee Riley over Matt Hancock.
The friends were watching I’m A Celebrity on last night’s episode of the Channel 4 show. The politician and former Health Secretary was a late addition to the camp on ITV’s reality show – and a controversial one at that.
He’s been the subject of debate on his suitability for the show. Viewers have mixed views given the public cheating scandal he was embroiled in, as well as his handling of the Covid pandemic.
But when he announced he’s releasing a new book to the rest of the camp, it was a step too far for the Gogglebox lot.
Joe Kyle, who appears on the show with his girlfriend Roisin Kelly, asked: “Is this a parody?”
Mary Killen, who has previously defended Boris Johnson, said to Giles Wood: “I can’t believe anyone would want to read his pandemic diaries.”

Lee exclaimed: “So he’s gone in there to promote his book?!”
But when it came to hearing Jenny’s thoughts, viewers were shocked.
Jenny said: “He wasn’t the killer, Covid was the killer.”
But Lee hit back, saying: “He was the health secretary at the time.”
But Jenny doubled down, adding: “”
