The British ex-Health Secretary Matt Hancock takes part in the British edition of the TV jungle camp - and is therefore expelled from his Conservative Party.
Group leader Simon Hart said Tuesday the matter was serious enough to immediately suspend the 44-year-old.
He did not give a precise reason.
Critics accuse Hancock of wanting to polish his image with the performance.
He earns extra money instead of taking care of his constituents.
"I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!"
Sky News quoted a Hancock confidant as saying the politician wanted to use the popular show "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" to connect with the 12 million viewers on average, as well as his reading campaign - and to spread spelling promotion.
Hancock will donate part of his fee.
The former health secretary is seen by many people in the UK as the face of the corona pandemic because of his regular appearances during the peak of Covid-19.
He had to resign in June 2021 because he had an affair with a close colleague who violated the strict corona distance rules he had set himself.
Hancock isn't the first politician to be on I'm a Celeb.
In 2012, for example, his party friend Nadine Dorries, who later served as Minister of Culture under Prime Minister Boris Johnson, was in the Australian jungle.
