I’M A CELEBRITY’s Seann Walsh and Matt Hancock were thrown straight into the thick of it today – but Seann was mocked by viewers after a bizarre question.
The duo became the latest arrivals in the ITV jungle this evening, and were immediately given the task of a bushtucker trial before heading into camp.
MP Matt and comedian Seann had to make their way through a series of dark and dingy tunnels to retrieve stars, leaving Seann more petrified out of the two over what lay in store.
However, it seems it caused him to panic with just about everything, leading him to ask Matt “what stars felt like” as he opened up a box filled with rats.
Viewers immediately took to mocking the stand-up comedian.
“Crying cos Seann said what do the stars feel like… They’re plastic mate,” wrote one.
“‘What does the star feel like’ seann is literally giving owen a run for his money,” added another, in reference to the sweet but gullible Hollyoaks campmate, Owen Warner.
Others found amusement in the scenario though, with one writing: “Seann “what does the star feel like” Matt “a star”. These two are hilarious doing this trial.”
The pair were forced to become friends quickly despite the fact Seann couldn’t quite believe the divisive MP was even in camp in the first place, unable to resist a few jabs at his expense as they ploughed through the trial, before sharing a bathing session together.
They then officially arrived in the camp as jungle moles, but got more than a frosty greeting when the others saw them… and it got even colder when they revealed they only won six out of the 11 possible meals for camp.
In fact, Matt’s presence on the show at all caused Boy George to consider quitting, with Sue Cleaver saying others, including herself, were struggling with him being there.
Charlene White then took charge and seized the opportunity to grill the former health secretary on his participation, despite parliament currently being in session.
His response later prompted Mike Tindall to label him a ‘bullsh***er’ as he failed to buy his reasoning.
Viewers then put their votes in and made sure Matt was up for the next bushtucker trial – something which by the sounds of it, he’s going to have to get used to.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here airs weekdays at 9pm on ITV.
