'Evening Prime Minister' - I'm a Celeb's Ant and Dec take brutal swipe at Rishi Sunak as Twitter erupts

Ant and Dec took a brutal swipe at Rishi Sunak on Wednesday night's I'm a Celebrity as the hosts revisited their iconic 'Evening Prime Minister' joke.

The presenting duo were discussing new arrival, Matt Hancock, as he took on his first Bushtucker trial alongside comedian Seann Walsh. Ant McPartlin said: "I’m not sure how Matt is going to cope in camp though.

After scoring just six out of 11 stars, the 44-year-old MP felt like his fellow contestants were let down by his and Seann's efforts. Journalist Charlene White wasted no time quizzing the new arrivals on what they were bringing to the camp, asking Hancock : "Have you won us stars?" To which he replied: "We got six stars."

Cleaver, 59, then added: "How many stars were there to get?" After Hancock confirmed there were 11 stars up for grabs in total, the Coronation Street actress appeared disappointed, saying: "Eleven… yeah…"
