I'm A Celebrity fans 'sickened' by Matt Hancock and Mike Tindall's 'bromance' antics

I'm A Celebrity fans were left feeling 'sickened' during Friday's instalment of the ITV series as MP Matt Hancock and Mike Tindall expressed their fondness for one another before their hectic trial.

Former rugby player Mike, who had previously been relatively hostile before the former Health Secretary, gushed over Hancock before they got stuck into one of the very last Bushtucker trails before Sunday's grand finale.

Mike and Matt volunteered themselves for the Fallen Stars trial, and after their fellow campmates, Jill Scott, Seann Walsh, and Owen Warner waved them off, Matt and Mike bigged one another up before the challenge.

The unlikely pals were seen chuckling, as Mike said that MP Hancock 'was the best'.

To which the controversial politician replied: "No, you're the best."

"No, no, you're the best," Mike replied - much to the surprise of I'm A Celebrity viewers at home.

"Not Mike gushing over MATT HANCOCK!! Honestly, what world are we living in," one viewer complained.

"Since when has Mike and Matt been best friends? Not sure how I feel about this," another echoed.

A third quipped: "Mike fancies Matt then," while someone else joked: "This is bromance I never saw coming."

"Mike Tindall is going to be inviting Matt over for Christmas dinner. What is this sorcery? I'm sickened," ranted someone else.

During the trial, Matt worked his way through the first couple of puzzles, as Ant said: “He’s good at puzzles - he said he was. He wasn’t fibbing!”

Other questions for Mike included the name for a male rat, which he answered ‘stud’ but it was ‘buck’.

In an ant-themed round he correctly named Ant’s birth place and in a round with rats correctly identified Ratatouille as a rat-themed film.

However, Matt was unable to finish one puzzle in the time given, so they earned four out of the five stars available.

Matt said: “So close to nailing it, but four out of five, I’m sure in camp they’ll be thrilled. For us, we’ll still be thinking about how we could have just got that fifth as it was so close.”

Back at camp after learning their tally, Jill said: “Four stars which was absolutely brilliant as it didn’t sound straight forward.”
