Everyone knew that the arrival of serving MP Matt Hancock into the jungle camp for ITV's I'm A Celebrity was controversial but the reaction from campmates was still a surprise. One contestant threatened to quit the show completely over the move.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly knew the drama was coming. In an Instragram Live that followed the show's official announcement that the former Health Secretary would be joining the show the following day, Ant said: "I reckon a lot of people shouting at the telly." Continuing: "But let's just see what he's like. I don't know the man, I don't know anything about him, but I am sure we are about to find out a lot about him." Dec added: "We have seen him on the telly a lot."
However, it wasn't just the feathers of viewers that were ruffled. In camp, the reaction was evident.
