Medics were forced to rush into camp when Matt Hancock yelped in pain after he was stung by a scorpion.
The creature attacked the MP shortly before breakfast today and nipped him unexpectedly leaving him yelping in pain.
A show source said: "Matt didn't see the scorpion until it was too late and it bit his finger. He felt a lot of pain and made a yelping noise, but thankfully for him there was no lasting damage.
