I’M A Celebrity’s Chris Moyles is jealous of Matt Hancock, according to a body language expert.
The Radio X DJ has been finding life in the jungle increasingly tough in recent days and last night shared his frustration in camp after someone stole his towel.
And to make matters worse, his plot to oust Matt from his role as camp leader looks to have lost momentum.
Chris is no fan of shamed MP Matt and seeing allies in camp begin to warm to him is proving hard to take, according to body language expert Darren Stanton.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair, he said: “Sue [Cleaver] spoke to the camera and said she now feels that the elephant in the room – being Matt’s conduct during the pandemic – has been sufficiently dealt with.
“As Sue has now accepted Matt into the group, I don’t believe she will go ahead with her original plan of going against him as camp leader.
“Without the strong motivational presence of Sue, I think any potential overthrow of the current rules won’t happen. Chris appeared a little dejected by this as the plan has clearly run out of steam.
“I still feel Chris has great issues with Matt. He also appears a little jealous when Matt has scored high in the trials or has received positive feedback from the group.”
Tensions bubbled last night after Boy George, Chris and Babatundé Aléshé left campmates starving with a Bushtucker Trial flop.
They faced a challenge after a public vote — which finally spared MP Matt.
But the trio limped back to camp with just three stars, meaning the 11 celebs had to share just three meals.
In the Angel of Agony trial, they were in cages inside a statue modelled on the Angel of the North.
The challenge was a nod to the north eastern roots of presenting duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
Ant, 46, explained: “This is the Angel of Agony. We’re feeling very at home because it’s loosely based on the legendary Geordie landmark, the Angel of the North.
“You’ll each take a position within the Angel and you’ve got to work together as a team to get the stars from the bottom to the top.
“The celebrity at the bottom gets the stars from the hell holes and passes them to the celebrity in the middle.
“The celebrity in the middle then gets the stars through the mesh to the celebrity at the top.
“The celebrity at the top must then use their magnet to move the stars into the wings.
“Every star you get into the wings before the end of time is a meal for camp.”
It was agreed Boy George would go at the bottom, Babatundé in the middle and DJ Chris, 48, at the top.
Once in position Culture Club singer George, 61, admitted: “I’m just letting you know I’m pretty nervous.”
Dec told them: “It’s all about teamwork this!”
Boy George began chanting while navigating a box full of critters to find a star before handing it to Babatunde, who apologised profusely for dropping it.
As he struggled, Ant exclaimed: “The nation holds its breath!”
Boy George moaned: “They have to get to the top or we’re all going to go hungry!”
When they found they only had three stars, upset comedian Babatunde, 36,́ said: “Look man, I had butterfingers today. I tried my best.
“Every time I got near to the top and I tried to pass it to Chris, it just dropped. I’m annoyed at myself.”
Later in the Bush Telegraph, he said: “I definitely feel I let the team down. I just couldn’t get the hang of the trial today.”
Boy George said: “I was proud of myself for overcoming my terror. Then I wanted to cry after.”
The failed trial meant the camp had to make do with a measly meal and basic rations of rice and beans after indulging in octopus and camel shoulder over the past week.
Disgraced former Health Secretary Matt, 44, had faced the past six trials, but performed well in each.
An insider said: “To give him his dues, Matt brought home the bacon in every trial he faced but now the celebrities are going to bed hungry.
“Grumbling tummies often mean fiery rows over even the smallest of things and the crew are on high alert for tensions to erupt.”
