Mike Tindall became the latest campmate to be evicted from the I'm a Celebrity jungle on Saturday night but before his departure he had been sharing his latest views on the former Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
It comes as Mike was greeted by his wife, the Princess Royal’s daughter Zara Tindall, as he left the I'm a Celebrity camp on Saturday night's show. The former England rugby player, 44, missed out on a place in Sunday’s finale to the former health secretary, 44, Jill Scott and Owen Warner, who will vie to be crowned the winner of the ITV reality show.
Before his exit, Mike shared his thoughts on his campmate Matt’s position as the show’s finale approached, saying: “Matt clearly wants to win.”
The former health secretary, 44, joined the hit ITV reality programme as a late arrival and has received a mixed reception from his fellow celebrity campmates throughout the competition.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph ahead of the show’s finale on Sunday evening, former England rugby player Tindall , 44, said: “Matt’s making sure his T-shirt and his phone numbers are on display at all times. Matt clearly wants to win.
“I’m taking great pleasure in turning it around every time he leaves camp.” He added: “Once a politician, always a politician. Always polling for votes.”
During the show hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly mocked Hancock’s attempts to win as many public votes as possible, with Dec saying: “Matt Hancock showed off his new morning routine: shower, shave and show everyone the number on the back of your gilet.”
But fans of the show were disappointed to hear Mike's views, as M.E.N reports @LiamHamer5 clapped back: "P** off Mike! He only put his T shirt on the bench." And @KarenlovesGB said: "Of all people Mike Tindall has started b****ing about Matt now. Very disappointing."
@Emma1240 also said, with unimpressed emoji: "Mike b****ing behind Matt's back." @Denneeze200 tweeted: "Mike has spent 99% of his time b**** about Matt." And @mahekdiaz said: "Lowkey hoping Mike gets voted out before Matt Hancock i'd love to see the smug look on his face wiped off."
But @v1llan3v3 was amused, tweeting: "Mike making sure no one can see Matt’s number." And @kalleighnorval said: "Obsessed with Mike hiding Matt’s number."
@hev626 laughed: "MIKE TURNING AROUND MATT'S SELF PROMO HAHAHA." @MICHAELEMERS0N said: "Mike covering Matt’s numbers back up, I love him." And @JoannePape said with a crying laughing emoji: "Mike's sabotage."
Meanwhile, also during Saturday’s episode, the final four faced the much-loved cyclone challenge, which sees the celebrities fight their way up a slippery, obstacle-ridden slope while trying to win stars for camp for one last time.
Hancock appeared delighted by the prospect of taking part in the challenge, telling his campmates: “I never thought I’d make it to the Cyclone. It’s going to be absolutely brilliant, I can’t wait.”
While Hollyoaks actor Warner, 23, said: “I’m just absolutely buzzing, can’t believe I’m here, can’t believe I’m doing this. I’m speechless. I’m just literally speechless.”
Scott added: “To get the opportunity to do this, honestly, it’s like the icing on the cake.”
As part of the challenge each of the celebrities were required to take on a superhero persona, with Tindall announcing: I’m Quicksilver, wherever there are stars I must go.”
Warner proudly said: “I am Goldicocks, come on!”
Hancock added: “I am the Bronze Bronco and I’m holding on for dear life.”
And finally Scott said: “I’m Purple Reign, I must help my team!”
Speaking to hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, Hancock said: “This is the one Trial you look forward to!”
After facing the challenge and getting rugby tackled by Tindall in the process, Hancock said: “I just thought, walk straight up the middle… Give the people what they want, a big target and they loved it. And then I got landed on by Mike Tindall .”
Adding: “It was even more fun than it looks.”
The finale of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! will air on ITV1 on November 27 at 9pm.
