I'm a Celebrity viewers point out 'unfair' problem with Matt Hancock and Boy George eating trial

I'm a Celebrity fans say they noticed an 'unfair' trend when Boy George went head-to-head with Matt Hancock in an eating trial. Presenting duo Dec Donnelly and Ant McPartlin revealed at the end of Thursday night's show (November 10) that the former health secretary, 44, and pop icon Boy George would take on the first eating challenge of this series together.

The pair ate a variation of gruesome grub at La Cucaracha Cafe, meaning the Cockroach cafe in Spanish. Despite this being Boy George's first trial, viewers are used to seeing the West Suffolk MP on their screens by now as this was the third trial since his arrival in the Australian jungle on Wednesday night (November 9).

There had been some awkward scenes around camp since Hancock's arrival as Boy George revealed that if his mum had died during the pandemic, he would have quit the show. "You know, beginning of the pandemic my mum was in hospital. I wasn’t allowed to see her. I thought she was going to die," the 80s star said, as he later told the Telegraph: "I don't know what to do with my feelings. I don't know whether I want to be here."
