Dancing On Ice fans threatened to "switch off" as Matt Hancock appeared on tonight's episode of the ITV show.
The politician turned reality star left fans of the skating show fuming as he appeared in the audience, where he was interviewed by host Holly Willoughby. Fans of the programme were stunned to see him there and being interviewed.
Angry viewers took to Twitter to vent their frustrations over Hancock's appearance, following his I'm A Celebrity stint, where he finished third place behind show winner Jill Scott and runner up Owen Warner.
Hancock even hinted at a possible appearance on the show, before admitting this would be much harder than the jungle show.
One viewer wrote: "Get Hancock out of there and keep him out of the sequins, I don’t want to see him fumble on the ice, #dancingonice why are itv trying to make him acceptable on reality TV????"
"Cba with Matt Hancock trying to be a regular ITV celeb sitting in the audience of #dancingonice and being interviewed. Gross," a second fan of the show penned, whilst a third wrote: "Would not surprise me if Matt Hancock is on the next season. #DancingOnIce."
A fourth penned: "Oh great. Matt Hancock on #dancingonice. Is he a politician still or just fully in the weird transition to "celebrity"? Either way, I'd rather never have to see or hear from him again."
Angry fans fumed over Hancock's appearance in the audience, as Holly interviewed him about a possible stint on the show.
" #DancingOnIce @hollywills we have @MattHancock in the audience! There he is in his new white shirt, jeans and spanking new white trainers , trying to look like one of the cool kids. WTF is going on? I want to switch off now!! @itvstudios," one shared.
Another suggested: "Why are we giving Matt Hancock more unnecessary air time? #DancingOnIce."
The politician was paid an eye-watering £320,000 for his appearance on the I'm A Celebrity series whilst still a sitting MP for West Suffolk - claiming at the time he was heading Down Under to raise awareness of dyslexia.
Following Mr Hancock declaring the £320,000 fee, the Mirror can now reveal how much of the pay cheque has been donated to charitable and good causes so far. A spokesperson for Mr Hancock told the Mirror: "As well as raising the profile of his dyslexia campaign in front of 11-million viewers, Matt's donated £10,000 to St Nicholas Hospice in Suffolk and the British Dyslexia Association, off the back of his appearance on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here'."
