Unimpressed I'm A Celeb fans complain to Ofcom over Matt Hancock's 'ironic' song

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! could be hit with more Ofcom complaints thanks to Matt Hancock.

The disgraced former Health Secretary and his campmates won a night at the Jungle Arms, which included dining on pub food, sinking beers and karaoke.

But while most people had fun, with Boy George belting out Karma Chameleon by his band Culture Club and Mike Tindall spitting bars to Ice Ice Baby, Hancock's performance didn't go down too well.

The Chester-born backbencher has made a series of startling revelations throughout the series, including being a huge Ed Sheeran fan but his latest has tested the waters.

Hancock, 44, took to the "stage" and performed his rendition of Queen's hit single, I Want To Break Free, leaving his campmates somewhat amused.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer said: "Matt singing 'I want to break free'? Someone tell me how to make an Ofcom complaint please."

While a second added: "Matt Hancock singing 'I want to break free'... The irony... most of us sang that throughout lockdown. #ImaCeleb."

"Matt singing Break Free? Something else he wants to break aside from covid guidelines #ImACeleb," tweeted a third.

Before a fourth joked: "I want to break free of the pain of Matt singing and dancing #ImACeleb."

Shortly after the performance, the celebs shared their verdict in the Bush Telegraph with comedian Seann Walsh commenting: "I think Matt was trying to tell us something when he sang I Want To Break Free... be free Matt."

While Hollyoaks actor 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."

"Lord have mercy, what was Matt doing?" asked comedian Babatunde.

But Hancock appeared to be pleased with himself, describing it as "brilliant", before adding: "I'm a massive Queen fan but I could have sung any one equally badly but that was brilliant."

Meanwhile, Hancock has survived four public votes with the likes of Boy George, Sue Cleaver, Charlene White and Scarlette Douglas being given their marching orders.

Many believe it's time for the MP to be sent back home and work around his constituency.

Viewers took to Twitter following the latest results show to state Hancock has well outstayed his welcome and must be next to get the chop.

One user slammed: "So the British public voted for Matt to do what 6 trials literally back to back, yet when they then get the chance to actually get rid of him once & for all Instead they get read of Charlene, Scarlette, Sue & George really? In what world does that possible make sense? #ImACeleb"

Another moaned: "who the f*** is voting for matt hancock please get a grip #ImACeleb," while a third added: "#ImACeleb Bye George Matt out tomorrow please."
