After being shown a clip of Matt discussing his decision to enter the jungle with journalist and fellow campmate Charlene White, Susanna hit out at Matt’s claims that everything at home “be fine”.
“Oh yeah everything’s going to be fine – what about his constituents!” she exclaimed.
Susanna continued: “There are people in West Suffolk that need their MP!”
Susanna, along with members of Matt’s constituency and the general public, wasn’t happy with Matt’s controversial new move.
On Monday morning, Susanna reported on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s “disappointment” at Matt’s I’m A Celeb stint.
“Well, the fact that he’s in there has gone down quite badly with the Prime Minister,” she told viewers on Good Morning Britain.
A petition was launched by Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice to stop the former MP from entering the jungle. The 40,000 people who signed the petition hit out at Matt’s “insult to already grieving families”.

“It is difficult for me because had something happened and my mum had gone, I wouldn’t be here now. I would have gone if he had walked in.”
