Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock has been left gobsmacked that he's made it to the final five on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The former health secretary, 44, has seen off other celebrities like Culture Club singer Boy George, radio DJ Chris Moyles and Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver in the Australian jungle.

After Chris was the latest celebrity to be eliminated on Thursday, Matt told the Bush Telegraph: “We’re so near the end and I’m delighted to be still here.

"I never thought I’d make it to the final five and here I am, so I’m very grateful."

Discussing the eviction, Hollyoaks star Owen Warner said: "The jungle giveth and the jungle taketh away. It’s given me another day in this beautiful place, but it’s taken my beautiful boy Chris, which I’m devastated about, he’s an absolute legend."

While Jill Scott said: "I’m so sad to see Chris go. He was a great campmate. He’s so funny, so hilarious. I’m going to literally miss him so much."

And it's not just Matt who was shocked that he's outlasted Chris, who asked show hosts Ant and Dec: "I’m gutted that Matt Hancock is more popular than me, what the bejesus is going on?

Chris continued: "Matt Hancock, why am I out and he is still in? I really struggled with it. I separated Matt Hancock from Matt. He was doing best to win us stars. Matt Hancock I have major issues with, but Matt, less issues."

Tonight's episode saw Matt and former Rugby player turned royal Mike Tindall take on Friday’s Bushtucker Trial, Fallen Stars.

Mike, 44, was asked questions to earn Matt the time to put together puzzles in a cage. Matt finished four of the five challenges, earning all but one star.

Elsewhere, Seann Walsh also tried to teach Jill and Owen how to do an impression of his fellow comedian Michael McIntyre while they were sitting at the creek.

Speaking In the Bush Telegraph Owen said: “Didn’t go very well at all. I sounded nothing like him and I know Jill sounded nothing like him. I’ll stick to the acting and Jill will stick to the football, leave the impressions to Seann.”

Back by the creek, he said: “I can do David Attenborough. ‘Here we have Seann, sitting on a rock, the sunlight hitting his face elegantly… watch how he swills the water around his mouth and then licks his lips…’”

He also revealed he can “cry on cue” as he learned to do so after watching X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent auditions.

He then taught his fellow celebs how to cry by saying: "Pick a point, don’t blink… focus your eyes… really focus on your breathing. Think about how your breathing goes when you cry."
