Former health secretary Matt Hancock finally made his debut on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! after being the show's 'worst kept secret'. The 44-year-old MP, who was Secretary of State for Health and Social Care during the Covid-19 pandemic, was finally confirmed as a latecomer to the famous camp at the very end of Tuesday night's episode (November 8).
Campmates including 80s pop singer Boy George, Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver and DJ Chris Moyles, were told by hosts Ant and Dec that they were not required to do tomorrow night's trial and could relax because two new arrivals would be doing it instead. It's still a surprise to the celebs for now, but viewers watching at home were then shown video clips of Matt and comedian Sean Walsh preparing for jungle life as they donned sturdy boots and bush hats.
Ant and Dec joked to camera that it was "the worst kept secret on TV." Matt himself confirmed his own signing last week as he was snapped arriving into Brisbane Airport as well as writing an article to defend his decision to say yes to appearing on the popular programme.
