I'm A Celeb's Matt Hancock stirs up strong reaction from public as fans have their say

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! returned to our screens for a brilliant episode last night (November 9) with another one due to air tonight.

And whilst we were all excited to see more trials, many were keen to see Matt Hancock take on the challenges.

The former healthy secretary, who entered alongside comedian Seann Walsh, has received wide-spread criticism for joining the ITV reality show from both the public and his fellow politicians.

But it wasn't just the public and politicians that had a strong reaction to him entering with Seann hysterically laughing upon meeting him. And later on in the show, one campmate sat down to talk to the politician and when questioned by Charlene as to why he was in the jungle, he replied: "The truth is because there's so few ways in which politicians can show we're human beings."

Charlene then looked around the jungle and directly into the camera before continuing her conversation - and people went wild over this moment with people screenshotting her face.

Shortly after arriving, Matt took part in the Beastly Burrows Bushtucker Trial challenge with Seann and taking to Twitter to discuss his arrival and progress so far, one said: "Charlene looking at the camera after Matt Hancock's answer is the most iconic moment of #ImACeleb"

Another added: "Disgusted at @ITV and @imacelebrity for putting Matt Hancock on the show. Huge disrespect to bereaved families of Covid victims

"MATT HANCOCK SLIPPING OFF THE BRIDGE THEN SEANN LAUGHING IN HIS FACE BEFORE MATT SINGS ED SHEERAN I'M CRYING WHAT ALTERNATE DIMENSION IS THIS" yelled a third.

The 44-year-old however was later, as voted by the public, selected to face a second trial, the Tentacles of Terror, which will be seen in the episode airing on November 10.

I'm A Celebrity...get Me Out of Here! returns to ITV - or STV if you live in Scotland - tonight at 9pm.
