Having remained in the jungle alongside Mike Tindall, Jill Scott and Owen Warner, it seems as though Matt is in with a chance of winning the series, but what would that mean for him? Speaking to The Guardian, politician and former I'm A Celebrity contestant Lembit Öpik has speculated that Matt's time in the jungle could lead to further opportunities:

"Most people never look back after being in the jungle. There's a speaker circuit, a superficial celebrity circuit, all there for you after," he said. 

"It really is a gamechanger. For Hancock, if he plays it right, it's already made him a celebrity, but it will give him a whole new direction for the rest of his life."
