Ant and Dec convinced Matt Hancock being voted to do trials by 'whole House of Commons'

Ant and Dec think Matt Hancock keeps being voted to do bushtucker trials by ‘the whole of the House of Commons’.

Some fans of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! are growing tired of seeing the disgraced MP lining up to win stars for camp.

And bosses are expected to use multiplayer trials with two or more people later this week to ensure some other celebs take part.

Responding to viewers commenting that it is boring with Matt doing all the trials, Dec said: "People here are saying stop voting Matt which is really interesting. Who is voting for him? The whole of the House of Commons!"

And Ant said: "I know there are a lot of people who want to put him through it. But I'm just thinking about the content of the show. It's nice for us to see other people doing a trial. It's up to you guys, the power is in your hands."

Dec added: "They are a good bunch this year but we have got quite a few scaredy cats.

"Seann is really nervous. Babatunde obviously and Scarlette. But we're not getting to see any of that because they're not coming down from the trials. Look, it is what it is. You know. We have to deliver the wishes of the general public."

Hancock will take part in his sixth Bushtucker Trial in a row tonight called Deserted Down Under.

After announcing he was going onto I'm A Celeb he was suspended by the conservatives and the decision was widely criticised by all parties.

Ant and Dec also admitted they would like to see a revolution in camp against the new leader Matt Hancock, after there were murmurings of discontent by Boy George and Sue.

Ant said: "I hope there is a revolt, just for like s**ts and giggles. I hope so. Because he says Boy George and I kind of want him to follow through and just see what happens."

Over the weekend medics were forced to rush into camp when Matt yelped in pain after being stung by a scorpion.

The creature attacked the MP shortly before breakfast and nipped him unexpectedly leaving him yelping in pain.

A show source said: "Matt didn't see the scorpion until it was too late and it bit his finger. He felt a lot of pain and made a yelping noise, but thankfully for him there was no lasting damage.

"Medics checked him over and gave him a clean bill of health but the whole camp is now watching out for them.

"Matt was saying afterwards it felt twice as painful as a bee sting."
