ITV I'm a Celebrity's Matt Hancock remains in jungle after first eviction

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here waved goodbye to the first evictee this evening.

Following Thursday's episode fans of the ITV show had the chance to vote for their favourite star in the Australian jungle. The celeb with the least votes was forced to face an eviction on tonight's live show.

The show has already had its fair amount of drama this series, with Olivia Attwood needing to exit after just 24 hours due to medical reasons. Viewers have also kicked off as rule-breaking Tory MP Matt Hancock entered the jungle and Boy George was quizzed about his criminal past.

With that in mind, many were sure that Mr Hancock or Boy George would be the first over the bridge during tonight's eviction. Matt due to the controversial views towards him from before he entered, and Boy George for his "dreadful" attitude so far on the show.

Surprisingly, it was confirmed tonight that Charlene was actually the first to leave.

Matt looked pleased as his competitor's name was announced - he had been saved for a little bit longer. However, this meant he was likely to be facing more trials.

Since his late arrival in the jungle, he has already carried out the most Bushtucker trials. He has faced snakes and pits as he competed to win stars for the rest of his campmates.
