Matt Hancock shows off 'shocking' dance moves in VIP box during I'm A Celebrity reunion

Matt Hancock showcased his dance moves at the Jingle Bell Ball last night, where he reunited with two of his former campmates from the latest series of I'm A Celebrity.

The politician, 44, was among those who attended the festive concert – which is hosted annually by radio station Capital FM – at the O2 Arena in London yesterday evening.

The event saw him reunite with presenter Scarlette Douglas, 35, and actor Owen Warner, 23 - whom had been among his fellow campmates in the jungle on the ITV show.

The group shared updates on social media with fans during the evening, including Owen – who was runner-up on I'm A Celebrity – posting footage of Matt and Scarlette dancing together.

Owen uploaded the video to his Instagram Story last night. It showed Matt and Scarlette dancing along to the song Where Are You Now by Calum Scott and Lost Frequencies.

Matt was seen reviving the Electric Slide – sidestepping and clapping his hands in the video – which Scarlette taught him in the jungle. Owen was heard encouraging his former co-stars as he said at one point: "Bust them moves."

The clip was later shared by both Matt and Scarlette on their accounts. The latter teased that the politician had been "practising" and she also said: "Get him on Strictly".

Matt also posted similar footage – taken by someone else from a different angle – on his TikTok account. He teased that it had been a "dance-off" with Scarlette.

The trio were also seen together in a photo. It saw them posing together at the event last night, just two weeks after they returned from Australia following I'm A Celebrity.

Matt – who was joined by his girlfriend Gina Coladangelo, 45 – sported casual attire for the concert, with him wearing a white t-shirt, a white shirt, a pair of jeans and trainers.

Owen opted for a similar look, donning a white t-shirt and a pair of jeans himself. Scarlette instead chose to wear a glittering dress - which was black and pink - for the event.

Scarlette recently branded Hancock's dancing as "shocking" after teaching him the Electric Slide in the jungle.

She said: "Yes, his dance moves were shocking. Honestly Matt cannot dance at all. It's not hard work if you've got a grove, Matt has no groove.

"That's the one thing about Matt is that he honestly just puts himself up for everything. Yeah, so you can't knock someone that at least tries and he really really did in there.

"I don't ever want to see them again. But he did it and he had fun. Strictly could come calling you never know!"
