Matt Hancock in Dancing On Ice audience and reveals which song gets him boogieing

Dancing On Ice returned to ITV on Sunday evening and there were some well-kent faces in the audience, including Matt Hancock.

The former UK Health Secretary and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant was joined in the crowd by his girlfriend, Gina Coladangelo.

Host Holly Willoughby was quick to point him out to those watching at home, saying: "We've got some well-known faces in our audience tonight. Matt Hancock is here. Hello to you."

Host Holly Willoughby was quick to ask Matt a few questions (ITV)

Hancock replied: "It's great to be here." Holly went on to say: "Now listen, we are celebrating dance tonight, so I'm just thinking, picturing the scene, you're at a party, there's the dancefloor there... what song would have to be played to get you going?"

Hancock come back with: "Well I dance to almost anything. It's more enthusiasm than talent thought. But a bit of Queen. Bit of 'Don't Stop Me Now' That might get me going."

He then cracked a joke comparing eating gruesome food in the Australian Jungle to starring in the ice skating show. He said: "Eating cockroaches is nothing compared to how difficult this is."

Hancock, who finished third on the reality show, announced in December last year that he will stand down as an MP at the next general election. He took to social media to reveal that he will not be standing at the next national vote, which is due to take place in 2024.
