I'm A Celebrity's Dec's 'true feelings' about Matt Hancock spotted by fans as MP exits

I'm a Celebrity viewers say they've caught a glimpse of Declan Donnelly's true feelings about Matt Hancock on last night's finale.

The MP made it to third place as Jill Scott was crowned Queen of the Jungle as the 22nd series of the programme came to an end on Sunday night.

The addition of the disgraced Tory had proven controversial and viewers selected him to face a string of Bushtucker Trials during the course of the popular reality show.

Despite it all, Matt toughed it out to the final stages of the show and, as he exited the jungle, eagle-eyed fans pointed out something distinct about Dec's behaviour toward the politician.

As usual, Dec and Ant McPartlin were on hand to greet - and grill - the exiting celebs. However, some fans noticed the seemingly frosty reception Hancock faced compared to other leavers, the Mirror reported.

Taking to Twitter, one user wrote: "Ant & Dec gave every campmate who left the jungle a hug and but when Matt Hancock left, they just shook his hand #ImACelebrity," while another claimed: "Dec absolutely HATES Matt Hancock! #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb."

Another agreed, writing: "Dec deffo dislikes Matt, you can see it 10,304 miles away #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb #MattHanock," while a fourth remarked: "Nobody is buying this bulls*** Matt. Ant and Dec are trying very hard aren't they, they hate him. Bye Matt."

And a fifth added: "Couldn’t help but notice Dec couldn’t keep eye contact with Matt. He definitely doesn’t like him! #ImACelebrity."

What's more, fans absolutely loved Dec's x-rated "toad" comment towards the MP.

As he took on his final trial, which was aired before the results were announced, the remaining three could have a starter, main, dessert, treat and drink, if they succeeded in their trials, with each finalist vying for a different course, and then their own treats and a glass of something.

For Matt's trial, called Flood Your Face, he had to put his head in a tank of water, snorkelling for five minutes. As time went on critters were added to the tank, including eels, yabbies, toads and water spiders.

After successfully completing it, he was asked how he found it and said a yabby went down his front, leaving him worried where else it might have gone.

Dec then responded: "You don't want a toad in your hole do you."
