The pair were given the position of undercover moles, meaning they’ll be completing secret tasks in camp – which last night included stealing a hat and deliberately misnaming Chris Moyles.

Viewers were treated to the sight of the MP for West Suffolk being showered with maggots, which is probably nothing compared to the reception his neglected constituents will give him when he returns.

The other contestants were clearly gobsmacked when the controversial politician walked into their midst.
Charlene: "Why are you here?"
Matt Hancock: "I want to show that politicians are just human beings too."

If you're wondering how Matt Hancock can stay calm while scorpions, maggots and cockroaches are dumped on his head, you're forgetting he was in a cabinet with Grant Shapps, Priti Patel and Dominic Raab.

I love how Matt Hancock's idea of proving that MPs are just 'normal people' is to go on a TV show with the word 'celebrity' in the title.

British culture is so weird. You can be a national hate figure but then go to the jungle and eat a testicle on TV to beg for forgiveness
