I'm a Celeb viewers 'outraged' as Matt Hancock secures place in final

Matt Hancock has bagged a place in the final of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here and viewers are 'outraged'.

The controversial campmate has proven to split the public's opinion and was a topic of discussion in the jungle as soon as he set foot on the show.

Unsurprisingly, he has been the public's favourite to take on the stomach churning Bush Tucker Trial but after completing the Cyclone challenge, it was announced on Saturday November 26 that Rugby legend Mike Tindall was the fourth person to be voted out, leaving Matt, Jill Scott and Owen Warner in the final.

However, while public vote confirmed who the favourite campmates are, many took to Twitter to vent ahead of Sunday's finale.

One said: "Waking up this morning hoping Matt Hancock getting into the final was just a dream."

Another added: "I'm hoping that the only reason Matt Hancock is still on #ImACeleb is because the UK public want to see him going through the maximum possible number of s***** experiences."

"If you’ve voted for Matt Hancock to win #ImACeleb you are the lowest of the low absolute scum," a third fumed.

One vented: "Twitter doesn't have enough characters to express my outrage! He shouldn't have been in there in the first place... #ImACeleb."

Another echoed: "Matt Hancock even being on I'm a Celeb in the first place is disgraceful really. We need to hold our politicians to account, but instead we allow ITV to hire them for publicity and bogus redemption stories. It's grotesque. He's a serving MP."

Meanwhile, another threatened to boycott: "If Matt wins #ImACeleb I'm never watching a show that relies on the public vote ever again."

But others stuck up for the MP, with one interjecting: "Call him all the bad names you like but he’s been a fab camp member. He’s smashed all the trails, hasn’t moaned once. He’s a decent guy at heart. There’s Matt Hancock the MP then there’s Matt. He’s great."

A second said: "Just registered to vote just for Matt Hancock just for a laugh eh."

And on the morning on the final, a third tweeted: "Happy Matt Hancock to Win #ImACeleb Day!!! Go MATT!"

You can watch the final of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here at 9pm on STV on Sunday November 27.
