I’m A Celeb fans share 'signs' Ant and Dec 'furious' at Matt Hancock in jungle

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! fans have been left convinced Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly aren't best pleased to be sharing the jungle with the former Health Secretary Matt Hancock.

Some viewers have claimed they are ‘sensing a vibe’ the Geordie duo are not thrilled about the MP’s controversial signing to this year’s instalment of the ITV reality show.

Taking to a fan forum on Reddit to speculate, one fan wrote: “Could be complete nonsense, but I get the sense they’re not happy about Matt Hancock being there.

“Which I understand completely, and I think is really unfair on them, but especially on the other celebs.”

Meanwhile, another viewer spotted that the hosts were giving Chris Moyles advice in his latest Bushtucker Trial, as they claimed Hancock wasn't offered the same help during his run of six consecutive challenges.

They said: “Notice how Ant & Dec are giving Chris Moyles tips on this Bushtucker trial? ..... Yet Hancock got none. I'm A Celeb you can tell who they don't like."

However, the beleaguered radio presenter was in greater need of help during his trial as he suffered setbacks and panicked in the enclosed space as he searched for stars, while Hancock blitzed through his challenges without hesitation.

This comes after Ant and Dec called out Charlene White after the Loose Women star refused to sleep in the RV on Wednesday night.

The TV presenters headed to their Instagram Live after the live show to weigh in on the bed trouble in camp after Seann Walsh was left complaining about a bad back from sleeping in a hammock.

The comedian had been forced to sleep in the 'banana' bed for eight nights after Charlene refused to sleep in the RV with Matt Hancock, despite being the only one with the privilege of a proper bed.

As the Geordie duo did their nightly Instagram Live debrief, they asked fans why they thought Charlene was insisting on sleeping in the camp instead.

Dec said: "Do you get it? I don’t get it," as Ant replied: "Why would you not want to sleep in there? It can't just be because of the spiders. Does she not want to sleep with Matt?"

Dec suggested that could be the underlying reason, as something fans also suspected, but Ant insisted: "I think it might be that but you’ve got to think of others and if other people have to then sleep in a hammock because of your actions and have a bad back, then you’ve got to look at your actions."

Dec replied: "I’m not sure it’s really playing as a team member by doing that. By taking up a bed."

Dec then asked his co-star: "Is she not breaking the rules as a deputy camp leader by not going in the RV?" Ant replied: "I think maybe she is. I’m going to speak to the producers about it."
