Matt Hancock has been voted to do his fourth consecutive Bushtucker Trial on I’m A Celebrity… and fans of the show are not happy.
Some viewers have even gone so far as to suggest a new rule should be put in place to ensure contestants don’t do too many trials in a row, for fear that the series will become ‘boring’.
Last night, Hancock and Boy George took on the first eating challenge of 2022, with the 80s singer left retching by the vegetarian dishes placed before him, as the politician ate dishes that included a sheep’s vagina.
Having previously done a trial with comedian Seann Walsh, and then taking on the Tentacles of Terror solo, at the end of Friday night’s episode, co-hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly confirmed that Hancock would be taking on yet another challenge alongside Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner.
The next trial will be called ‘Who Wants To Look Silly On Air’ – a riff of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, and will also feature an audience of the rest of the other campmates.
With this being Hancock’s fourth trial in a row in the same number of days, several viewers have called for a rule to be implemented that would prevent celebrities on the series from being voted to do too many in succession.

‘@imacelebrity need to bring a rule in that if you get voted for a trial you then can’t be voted for the next one, the same person over and over just gets boring #ImACeleb,’ one person tweeted.
‘#ImACeleb Needs to change voting rules where a celeb can’t have two trials in a row. Gets so boring each year seeing same person doing them,’ someone else wrote.
Another Twitter user speculated that perhaps the producers of I’m A Celebrity have chosen to do several paired trials because they knew that the public would vote in their masses for Hancock.
Meanwhile, one individual urged other I’m A Celeb viewers to change their voting patterns, tweeting: ‘Sorry but we need to stop voting for @MattHancock to keep doing trials and give the other celebs a turn.’
Nonetheless, someone else said that while Hancock ‘should be absolutely nowhere near #ImACeleb or any program on our TVs’, while he is, they plan on voting for him ‘to do every trial and cote to keep him in until the very end (but not win)’.
They added that their motivation was to try their ‘hardest to make him earn his £400k fee, which he should then donate’.
Friday night’s episode saw Hancock plead for ‘forgiveness’ after breaching his own social distancing guidelines as health secretary.
However, numerous viewers were not sympathetic in the slightest, with one stating: ‘If the British public forgive Matt Hancock, I’m officially done with this country.’
I’m A Celebrity returns tonight at 9pm on ITV.
