Matt Hancock came face-to-face with his I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! campmates and there were awkward scenes as he was immediately confronted over his decision to sign up. After winning six stars for camp with fellow latecomer Seann Walsh in their first Bushtucker Trial Beastly Burrows, the former health secretary finally arrived in the jungle.
The arrival of the Conservative MP for West Suffolk, who has been suspended for taking part in the popular ITV reality show, unsurprisingly sent shockwaves through the group. It wasn’t long before Matt, who was health secretary at the coronavirus pandemic, was quizzed by the celebs and an upset Boy George even threatened to quit the camp as he struggled with his emotions.
At first the 80s pop icon told Matt: “You’re really going to get it. You’re really going to get it. Not from me. I mean just from…” And A Place In The Sun star Scarlette Douglas asked: “Why did you decide to come in?” Matt replied: “Why? Because, all politicians are known - and me in particular - for being in a very sort of strict way of being. Which is just not actually how we are.”
