Iām A Celebrityā¦ Get Me Out Of Here! viewers got their first glimpse at Matt Hancock on the show on Tuesday night, with his entrance VT proving to be as much of an endurance test as any of the trials the famous contestants have to face.
While Iām A Celebrity is yet to show the former health secretaryās arrival in the jungle, the latest instalment of the ITV reality show ended with a teaser clip in which Hancock was introduced as a late-arrival campmate.
And letās just say, he certainly brought the cringe factor.
Over the course of the minute-long video, Hancock brought all of the āaccidental Partridgesā heās become known for in recent years, serving up some rather unconvincing chuckles, tipping his hat like John Wayne and even trying his hand at comedy.
All in all, viewers were not loving itā¦
Even Ant and Dec got in on the fun in a TikTok video posted after the episode airedā¦
Hancock is best known for serving as the health secretary under Boris Johnson during the early stages of the Covid pandemic, a role he eventually stepped down from after it emerged heād broken lockdown restrictions while conducting an extra-marital affair with an aide.
While heās no longer in cabinet, he is still a sitting MP, with his decision to sign up for Iām A Celebrity being met with a widespread backlash and leading to his suspension from the Tory party last week.
Matt Hancock and comedian Seann Walshās jungle entrances will be shown during Wednesdayās episode of Iām A Celebrity at 9pm on ITV.
