ITV I'm A Celebrity viewers make Jungle Arms Ofcom claim

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here viewers have been sharing their views on on the latest events in the camp - and a trip to the Jungle Arms had many talking. After another Bushtucker trial and disappointment in the Deals on Wheels challenges, the campmates headed to the Jungle Arms, where they were served alcoholic drinks as well as pizza, chips and Twiglets, before each of them took to the stage for individual performances.

The celebrity campmates mused over whether Matt Hancock was "trying to tell us something" during a karaoke at the pop-up jungle boozer. The former health secretary gave a rendition of the Queen hit I Want To Break Free, as the contestants enjoyed a session at the Jungle Arms, Manchester Evening News reports.

And despite stumbling a couple of times with missed cues Hancock was praised for "going for it" during his performance. Following the MP's performance, comedian Seann Walsh said in the Bush Telegraph: "I think Matt was trying to tell us something when he sang I Want To Break Free… be free Matt." Hollyoaks star Owen Warner added: "Whatever you’ve got to say about Matt Hancock, he absolutely went for it tonight and absolutely loved it, everyone went for it."

Other campmates, however, were less impressed, with comedian Babatunde Aleshe saying: "Lord have mercy, what was Matt doing?" But the West Suffolk MP, who previously admitted on the show he was a fan of Ed Sheeran, described his karaoke experience as "brilliant", saying in the Bush Telegraph: "I’m a massive Queen fan but I could have sung any one equally badly but that was brilliant."

But some I'm A Celeb viewers think it warranted an official complaint. @turntheboxon tweeted: "Why do they keep showing Matt Hancock singing?! I’m complaining to ofcom #ImACeleb." @ScarlTheSloth said: "Matt singing 'I want to break free'? Someone tell me how to make an OfCom complaint please x #ImACeleb."

@michaelamarie24 posted: "I will never unsee Matt Hancock singing I Want To Break Free #imaceleb." @natashaymorris shared: "I want to break free of the pain of Matt singing and dancing #ImaCeleb." @bethanyallt added: "Oh no I cannot with Matt singing I want to break free. So did all of us in lockdown but you said no #imaceleb."

Other performances came from Lioness star Jill Scott who gave a rendition of Black Eyed Peas 2003 hit Where Is The Love? Boy George also got the celebrities dancing with a performance of his band’s 1983 hit Karma Chameleon, shortly before he became the fourth celebrity to be eliminated from the reality show.

Meanwhile, some I'm A Celeb fans complained that Chirs Moyles didn't get enough airtime during his performance. @alishx__ asked: "Why didn't we see Chris sing? #ImaCeleb." @adam75hawkins echoed: "Where was Chris' karaoke?!?!" @katesaintstrange wrote: "Why aren’t you guys showing hardly anything of Chris? He’s got a nice voice too!"

@LisaJac62279291 tweeted: "Come on #ImACeleb... you showed all the campmates singing like their snacks depended on it..but left Chris Moyles out..give the Yorkshire lad a chance.. show more of his best bits please." @sevan09 added: "Why was Chris Moyles the only one not shown singing? In fact why has he had such little airtime."

But one thing that I'm A Celeb viewers could agree on was how much they loved the return of the Jungle Arms - and could have watched more. @MsArlene_B tweeted: "Can we not have a whole episode of The Jungle Arms best night in the jungle so far #ImACeleb." @catdeans echoed: "We needed a whole episode just for the Jungle Arms karaoke #ImACeleb."

@Ant_oinette commented: "The Jungle Arms is always such a wholesome episode #ImACeleb." @billynomatesttv posted: "The Jungle Arms gives me so much dopamine #ImACeleb." @x_Paigeann_x added: "OH MY GOSHHHHHHHHH THE JUNGLE ARMS IS WAYS THE CUTEST MOMENT OF THE SERIES #ImaCeleb."
