I'm A Celeb fans all say same thing as Matt Hancock picked for eating trial with Boy George

I'm A Celebrity 2022's Matt Hancock was voted for the next trial on the ITV series on Thursday night, in what will be his third task in three days - with Boy George also picked for the looming eating trial.

It came as no surprise to viewers though as they predicted the vote, but many were left saying the same thing afterwards.

Matt was reeling as his name was called out by hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, while Boy George was also fearing the worst.

It was confirmed both would take on the dreaded eating challenge - and the announcement led to quite the reaction on Twitter.

Taking to the social media platform, after fans called the previous challenge " boring", viewers believed the pair taking on the dreaded trial together would be "TV Gold".

One viewer said: "MATT AND BOY GEORGE DOING THAT EATING TRIAL IS GOING TO BE COMEDY GOLD."

Another agreed: "This is going to be awkward, tense, gold."

A third viewer tweeted: "Ooooo Matt and boy George BOTH doing a trial together might be tv gold honestly."

It follows the drama surrounding Hancock’s arrival on the ITV show, which led to predictions of a mass walkout by fans.

On Wednesday, Boy George confessed he was considering leaving the jungle, with one campmate doing her best to stop him.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, he became emotional as he said: "I don't really know what to do with my feelings. You know, today was obviously quite emotional for me.

"I don't know what it's going to be like, I actually don't really know if I want to be here."

Sue Cleaver soon encouraged him to stay, while she too shared her view on the matter - clearly not keen on Hancock.

She said: "Just sleep on it tonight. Look, why he came in and what he's doing here, it's not our responsibility and it's not for us to take on."

Sue later said in the Bush Telegraph: "George was having a bit of a moment. I think if I'm honest that most of us are sort of feeling it's a bit of a very strange situation to be in."

Now, viewers are predicting several cast members could end up leaving the series following ITV signing up the disgraced Tory MP.

Taking to Twitter, they guessed drama and tension was on the cards for sure - but many also wondered if a mass walkout could happen.

One viewer said: "I got a funny feeling [Hancock] is gonna to have walk, before they have a mass walkout."

Another tweeted: "George is going to quit. I’m calling it now!"

A third viewer added: "I think many will walk out," as a fourth wrote: "I reckon Boy George will walk out."

Meanwhile, a fith fan said: "This could backfire very badly on ITV and Ant & Dec. People do not want to be entertained by Matt Hancock and the celebrities do not want their reputations to be tarnished by playing games with him. I wonder how they would have handled a walkout."

I'm A Celebrity airs every night at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
