The West Suffolk MP wrote to the prime minister to reveal that he will not stand as a Conservative candidate when the country next goes to the polls.

The former health secretary also broke the news in a social media video on TikTok.

Matt said that now it would not be ‘necessary’ for him to receive the Tory whip back.

He was suspended from the Conservative parliamentary party last month when it was confirmed that he had signed up for the reality show.

This meant that he was absent from the House of Commons for weeks.

Despite initially being voted into several Bushtucker trials, the MP won over the public and finished in third place.

Reflecting on his time in the jungle, Matt talked about his time at the camp with the comedian. Sean Walsh.

He said: ‘I formed an extraordinary bond with Seann in a short period of time and then it took a few days to work and develop relationships with the rest of the fellow campers.

‘Some of them, I noticed, didn’t suit me right away, but they softened over time. Being in the jungle also gives you a lot of time to think about what really matters.

‘I thought about how much I care about the people I really love.’
