I'm A Celebrity: Seann Walsh and Matt Hancock squeal through first trial

Former health secretary Matt Hancock has officially entered the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! jungle with his first episode airing on Wednesday, November 9. He will be entering the jungle with comedian and actor Seann Walsh and together they will be facing the Beastly Burrows trail.

A teaser of Matt and Seann taking on the trail shows them crawling along in a muddy tunnel which is filled with sludge, slime and creepy crawlies. The tunnel is also in pitch darkness and the clip shows Matt coming face-to-face with the slime.

After a load is chucked on his head Hancock says: "Agh! That is a load of slurry just poured on my head!" The MP also asked Seann which way he wanted him to go in the tunnel, to which Seann replied: "I'm not a SatNav I don't know!"

At various bits during the clip viewers can hear both Hancock and Seann squealing as they tackle the challenge. Viewers will have to wait until the evening to see how many stars they took back camp.

There has been a lot of reaction to Hancock entering the jungle, after he resigned as health secretary when he broke his own social distancing rules by having an affair, with some looking forward to his time in the jungle and others believing he should not be on the show. Matt has been suspended by the Conservative party for entering the jungle. However, it was revealed earlier today that the MP's constituents will be able to contact him in an emergency.

Welsh TV presenter Carol Vorderman has aired her thoughts about Matt entering the jungle, as she poked fun at his last name. In a video posted to her Instagram stories, Carol made a not-so-subtle jab at Matt's surname making it clear what she thought about the politician appearing on the show.

Carol was on her way to the studio to appear on ITV 's This Morning to chat all things I'm A Celeb and on her way in the car joked about how to pronounce Matt's last name, saying that the "Han" was silent so his name is actually "Matt C***".
