I'm A Celeb viewers all say same thing as Matt Hancock debuts - it's bad news for him

I'm A Celebrity viewers were all left saying the same thing on Tuesday night, as the latest episode aired on ITV - and Matt Hancock's arrival was officially announced.

Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly were back with more jungle action, revealing what this year’s line-up had got up to over the past 24 hours.

But there came some news that two new stars were on their way to join the others, in scenes that would air on Wednesday night.

Former Health Secretary Hancock and comedian Seann Walsh were officially confirmed to be taking part on Tuesday night, after weeks of it being known to viewers.

Ant and Dec shared the news at the end of the latest episode, revealing both new contestants would be taking on the next trial.

Many viewers all began tweeting the very same thing after realising that from Wednesday, they would likely be able to vote for Hancock to do the Bushtucker Trials.

Taking to Twitter, fans "united" and vowed that they would use their votes on the Tory MP for the trials.

One viewer said: "Everyone everyone getting ready to vote for Matt Hancock on the #ImACeleb app."

Another fan tweeted: “He will be doing every challenge," as a third fan added: "He's gonna be doing every single trial."

Meanwhile a fourth viewer said: "For first time ever I’ve downloaded the #ImACeleb app. I’ll be using my vote to ensure Matt Hancock is selected for every. single. trial!"

The comments kept on coming too, with another reading: "This man is going to get voted for every single trial and he knows it!"

It follows the sudden exit of Olivia Attwood, who was forced to withdraw from the ITV series this week.

Olivia was forced to withdraw on medical grounds and despite wanting to return, she has not been allowed to by medics.

A show spokesperson told The Mirror: "As a precautionary measure Olivia needed to leave the jungle to undergo medical checks.

"Unfortunately, the medical team has advised that it is not safe for Olivia to return to camp as there needs to be further investigation.

"She has been absolutely brilliant and she'll be very much missed on the show."

Olivia made history as the very first Love Island star on the show, so her incredibly early exit from the show is likely to leave many fans gutted.

A spokesperson on behalf Olivia posted a statement on her Instagram story after her departure, which began with: "To say Olivia it heartbroken would be an understatement."

It added: "She dreamed of doing 'I'm A Celeb' for years and was absolutely loving every second of the show and throwing herself into jungle life feet first (just as we knew she would)."

"However, for reasons beyond her control her journey has been cut short," the statement explained. "Your support and kind words have meant the absolute world to her, now as much as it always has.

"You will hear the truth from Olivia in due course and she will be back on your screens in the New Year. Ps. Who's going to roast Matt Hancock now?!"

I'm A Celebrity airs every night at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
