It had also been reported that Mr Johnson's successor, Liz Truss, was approached about doing the show - but that has been rebuffed by her spokesperson, who said: "Liz has not been approached about appearing on the next series of 'I'm A Celebrity…', and even if she were approached, the answer would still be a firm no." Unfortunately for those of you who might have wanted to see Boris Johnson covered in slime and/or eating unspeakable parts of animals, the former PM is reported to have politely declined the invitation. You probably recall that former health secretary Matt Hancock went on the show last year - and lost the Conservative Party whip for doing so. In case you're not a fan of reality television, the show involves a group of celebrities living in the Australian jungle with few creature comforts, and undertaking challenges to secure additional treats and food for the camp - with the ultimate aim of not being voted out by the viewing public and winning the series. You may have read this week that former prime minister Boris Johnson was approached by the producers of the popular ITV show 'I'm A Celebrity.' to appear in the upcoming season.
This latest loss comes after the Tories lost over 1,000 seats at the local elections in May, and they continue to struggle in the national polls ahead of a general election, due to take place in the next 18 months. The Tories had controlled the council since 2017, but as a result of last night's vote, the composition is now 25 Tory councillors and 25 opposition councillors.įortunately for the Conservative Party, the council chairman - and therefore the casting vote - is a Conservative. Nicholas Taylor, Conservatives: 1,361 votes.Brett Wright, Lib Dems: 1,649 votes (elected).The contest took place in Meads ward, located near Eastbourne, and Lib Dem candidate Brett Wright beat Nicholas Taylor - office manager for Eastbourne Tory MP Caroline Ansell - by 288 votes. Continuing a disastrous electoral streak at local level this year, the Conservative Party lost control of East Sussex County Council last night after losing a by-election to the Liberal Democrats.
