Lorraine Kelly ‘fed up’ of watching ‘the Matt Hancock Show’ on I’m A Celebrity

Lorraine Kelly has admitted she’s ‘fed up’ of watching Matt Hancock at the centre of attention on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.

The former health minister and sitting MP has so far been voted for six Bushtucker trials, as well as a finalist for camp leader, and some fans are getting tired of it.

Speaking to Edwina Currie and Peter Andre on her ITV morning show, Lorraine admitted: ‘The fact that he’s been voted leader – it’s the Matt Hancock Show. I must admit, I’m getting a wee bit fed up of it.’

She added that he ‘looks like he’s having a gay time,’ in the camp, going on to recall how Hancock resigned after breaking lockdown rules by kissing Gina Coladangelo in his office, declaring that he ‘broke the rules by groping and fondling his bit of stuff.’

Ms Currie said: ‘I don’t think he should be there. He’s got a job to do in England and he could be promoting issues to do with dyslexia, or whatever he fancied, from the best platform in the world, which is the House of Commons.

‘But that said, he decided to go into the jungle for exactly the same reasons, Lorraine, that everybody does.’

Former campmate Peter said that, while he’s not political, ‘there’s a lot of people still feeling raw’ about Hancock’s arrival.

However, he pointed out that the ITV bosses ‘were very smart with what they did,’ due to the huge interest in Hancock’s arrival.

Last night, viewers unexpectedly picked the former health secretary as a finalist in the race to be camp leader.

He then squared off against ex-rugby player Mike Tindall to determine which finalist would go on the power trip.

Each picked a deputy, with Mike going for Corrie’s Sue Cleaver and Matt choosing journalist Charlene White – who fans predicted would clash with him after she called out lockdown- breaking politicians.

‘You couldn’t make leader of the Conservatives but you’re leader of camp,’ Loose Women’s Charlene told Matt, to which he laughed: ‘Not yet!’

Mike and Hancock were then blindfolded and had to follow their deputies’ instructions to switch on lights, with Hancock and Charlene triumphing.

‘Does this win feel sweet, especially after you lost to Boris?’ Charlene asked. He replied: ‘This more than makes up for it.’

As Hancock then dished out chores, Lioness Jill Scott quipped: ‘Are these guidelines or rules?’

The MP clarified: ‘These are rules. This is the law of the jungle, Jill.’

Meanwhile, the politician – who has lost the Tory whip – got another sting when a scorpion attacked him. ‘It hurts a lot and I’m feeling slightly dizzy,’ the 44-year-old admitted after yelping in pain.

Chuckling over the incident, singer Boy George said: ‘Of all the people that could get stung by a scorpion. I’m not laughing, I’m sure it was horrible.’

ITV confirmed the creepy-crawly wasn’t poisonous and Matt was seen by a medic. And shaking off the drama, the unlucky contestant braced himself for his fifth bushtucker trial in a row – before being voted for his sixth later on in the episode.

Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV. I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
