Kezia Dugdale, who was on the reality programme in 2017, said she found it a "lonely experience".

She said she struggled to connect with contestants and urged him to try to be himself if he wants to make friends.

The former health secretary was suspended as a Tory MP after it was announced he was joining the ITV show.

Ms Dugdale, who was an MSP when she joined the show, told BBC Scotland that if Mr Hancock wanted to make friends he needed to stop being a "risk-averse politician".

She also admitted to John Beattie on BBC Radio's Drivetime programme that one of the main reasons she took part in the show five years ago was for the money.

"I did it for two reasons - to try and show that politicians have a more normal, human side, to build some bridges there but also, if I'm really honest, I did it for the money," she said. "I was in a bit of a pickle at the time with a legal case and was very worried I wouldn't be able to pay my legal bills.

"So I was motivated by the cash - there's no point in me denying that or being anything other than properly honest about it."

Following her appearance on the reality show in 2017, she revealed that she was paid £70,000 and declared between £10,000 and £15,000 worth of travel, accommodation and living expenses, that was paid by ITV.

She donated £5,100 of her appearance fee, as well as £2,500 of her MSP's salary, to charity.
