00:00 So yeah, Nigel Friarge is going into the Army Service C Jungle. What do you think about that?
00:06 Well, he's quite a controversial figure and it appears that it's backfired a little bit.
00:13 As I read this morning that viewing figures are down 2 million.
00:18 So if you are going to take a chance with controversial figures,
00:22 you've got to be prepared to take a hit when it all goes wrong.
00:25 I think it's good. I think it shows you what he's actually like as a person.
00:29 Because I think he gets a very negative rep in the mainstream media.
00:34 And I think it gives politicians, it gets seen as like they're not human sometimes.
00:38 I think it's good to see the human side of him.
00:41 Yeah, I think it's good. I think it shows that politicians,
00:43 I know people give them a lot of stick and a lot of grief, but they are just people at the end of the day.
00:47 It's not a bad thing. He's a bit diverse. I think he's pretty confident.
00:53 I think he knows his mind. I think he's pretty on the ball on most things.
00:56 So it'll be good to see what comes of it really.
00:59 I think Matt Hancock has set a really dangerous precedent.
01:03 That's what you want me to say, isn't it? But it's true.
01:05 The thing is that Matt Hancock, he's set a dangerous precedent that disgraced politicians.
01:11 Now they have a second career they can go to.
01:14 I mean, that's how I feel about it.
01:16 And yeah, I don't know what else to say.
01:19 It's like they describe him as Marmite. You either love him or you hate him.
01:23 So it'll be interesting to see what happens.
01:25 Whether he'd win it or not, I don't know.
01:27 But it'll be interesting to see how the other contestants take to him.
