I’m A Celebrity 2022: ‘Limit his screen time now!’ Viewers rejoice as Matt Hancock is FINALLY spared from facing Bushtucker Trial… after he was voted six consecutive times by public

Matt Hancock has finally been spared from facing the next Bushtucker Trial, it was announced during Monday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.

The former health secretary, 44, has so far taken part in six consecutive trials to win food for his campmates, but the public has now decided that Babatúndé Aléshé, Chris Moyles and Boy George will all face Angel of Agony on Tuesday.

Following the announcement made by Ant and Dec, the MP threw his hands in the air with glee – while viewers rejoiced that his screen time will be ‘limited’ as they flocked to Twitter.

Happy: Matt Hancock has finally been spared from facing the next Bushtucker Trial, it was announced during Monday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here

One user wrote: ‘Matts clearly not phased by the Trials, unfortunately. It’d be much more satisfying if he was a whimpering mess. So, LETS STOP VOTING FOR HIM!! We need a whimp, so the camp starve and it causes tension!! #ImACeleb.’

Others added: ‘Great to see other camp mates going to do trial. Fed up of Matt doing them all,’ and, ‘finally a trial that doesn’t have matt hancock in it.’

A fourth penned: ‘As soon as Matt said he’s enjoying the trials, the public decided he’s not doing the next one.

Another concluded: ‘No trial for Matt thank f**k, limit his screen time now and vote get him the f**k out that jungle the horrible [rat emojis] #ImACeleb.’

Oh dear! The former health secretary, 44, has so far taken part in six consecutive trials to win food for his campmates

Worried! George certainly did not look happy about the decision

Earlier in the installment, campmates vented their frustration at Matt doing six trials back-to-back.

Earlier in the installment, George, Sue Cleaver and Mike Tindall complained they weren’t getting a look in, with sportsman Mike claiming it made their time in camp ‘harder’.

Speaking to Loose Women anchor and ITV newsreader Charlene White, Sue said of Matt: ‘He must be quite funny when he’s doing the trials.’

Woohoo! Following the announcement made by Ant and Dec , viewers rejoiced that his screen time will be ‘limited’ as they flocked to Twitter

Of the public, Sue asked Charlene: ‘Do you think they’ll get bored of it or do you think they’ll just carry on?’

Referring to Matt’s time in office as the former Health Secretary during the pandemic, Sue said: ‘There’s a lot of anger, isn’t there,’ to which Charlene replied: ‘Yeah, they’ll just carry on. It’s an outlet.’

Speaking to Mike, George said: ‘I suppose there’s a lot of people who are angry with Matt.’

Speaking of being forced to spend all their time in the camp rather than leaving to take part in the Bushtucker Trials, Mike said: ‘It does make our experience harder because we’re always here. We don’t need to do anything.’

The MP for West Suffolk – who served as the UK’s health secretary during the COVID-19 pandemic – is controversially appearing as a contestant on the ITV jungle survival show and was chosen by the public once again to face unpleasantries to earn meals for camp in Deserted Down Under, which will aired on Monday.

He was seen covered in snakes as he lay in an underground pit as he attempted to collect stars which he could exchange for meals for his co-stars.

Matt managed to collect seven out of a possible 11 stars before returning to camp.

Frustration: Speaking to Mike, George said: ‘I suppose there’s a lot of people who are angry with Matt’

Tough: Speaking of being forced to spend all their time in the camp rather than leaving to take part in the Bushtucker Trials, Mike said: ‘It does make our experience harder’

Later in the episode Matt finally escaped the wrath of the public having completed six consecutive trials.

Boy George, radio DJ Chris Moyles and comedian Babatunde Aleshe were all voted by the public to compete in the Angel of Agony, which will air on Tuesday.

Matt won seven stars for camp during his sixth consecutive Bushtucker Trail during Monday’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.

During Deserted Down Under, the former Health Secretary, 44, said he had ‘no idea’ why viewers once again voted for him to take on the gruesome challenge.

Another trial: Matt won a seven stars for camp during his sixth consecutive Bushtucker Trail during Monday’s I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!

Not a clue: During Deserted Down Under, the former Health Secretary, 44, said he had ‘no idea’ why viewers once again voted for him to take on the gruesome challenge

He told hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: ‘There’s nothing I can do about it, I just throw myself at the Trial.’

The challenge saw Matt being buried alive for eleven minutes, during which he would have to retrieve keys to unlock eleven stars.

The West Suffolk MP has faced backlash from viewers after reportedly earning £400K for his appearance while parliament is still in session.

SIXTH trial: He told hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: ‘There’s nothing I can do about it, I just throw myself at the Trial’

And in true I’m A Celeb style, he was joined by insects and critters as well as a selection of snakes – his worst fear – during his sixth consecutive gruesome trial.

Viewers watched as he forced to reach his arms into small holes to search for the keys but struggled at first.

Seemingly horrified by his companions, he called out: ‘Something’s going up my leg! It’s inside my shorts.’

Scary: The challenge saw Matt being buried alive for eleven minutes, during which he would have to retrieve keys to unlock eleven stars

The lights then cut out and Matt was forced to complete the rest of the challenge in total darkness.

And the Tory MP appeared less than impressed at the end of trial when he was told he had bagged seven out of a possible eleven meals for camp.

He said: ‘I just managed to keep really calm. I had to be gentle with them [the snakes] but they were fine.’

He added: ‘My biggest fear [was snakes]. I kind of feel like I’ve faced that. I’ve conquered a fear.’

He noted: ‘It’s not 11 is it? Fine for dinner, haven’t hit it out of the park.’
