Follow along here for real-time updates from the episode, during which Babatundé Aleshe called out Matt Hancock for “grabbing booty” in a reference to the politician’s Covid scandal. “The whole nation fuming at Matt Hancock smashing the trials,” one wrote. A second commented: “To be frank, Matt Hancock did pretty well getting 11 stars in that Bushtucker trial.” “Me watching Matt Hancock actually do well in that Bushtucker trial,” a third responded, alongside an “Oh for f***’s sake” GIF. “Well, that pissed off Ant and Dec,” someone noted, “well done.” The controversial politician’s arrival at camp has been met with mixed reactions from fans and co-stars alike, with Boy George crying on camera, and Charlene White schooled Hancock over his decision to join the show.
