I'm A Celebrity fans hit out at 'Matt Hancock Show' as MP voted for sixth trial in a row

I'm a Celebrity viewers are sick of Matt Hancock being voted for trials - despite the fact that the trials are voted for by the public - and they are branding the ITV series the 'Matt Hancock Show.'

Serving MP Hancock is now leader of the camp, alongside Charlene White as his deputy, after beating Mike Tindall in a challenge. Despite this he was still voted for the next trial, his sixth in a row after Sunday's House of Horrors during which a snake lunged at him.

Half of the viewers of the show, though, were fuming and branded the show 'boring' for having the Tory MP up for trials ever since he entered the jungle. One called out the show for being 'a fix' writing on Twitter: "This must be the most boring series of I'm a celebrity ever. It's so predictable, Matt's chosen, does the trials, gets the stars without fuss and everyone gets to eat. What is really bizarre is that Matt is also voted to try for camp leader. Hmm smelling a fix here." Another called it the 'Matt Hancock show' saying: "I watch I’m A Celebrity to see ALL the contestants - it’s now the Matt Hancock show. Surely he needs to go."

A third added: "In reality "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" is "The Matt Hancock show"! Like it or hate it, that's the truth!" While a fourth wrote: "I hear they are renaming I’m a Celebrity The Matt Hancock Show - how boring !!! #ImACeleb."

Hancock had said he hoped to shine a light on dyslexia during his time on the show, but so far there's been no mention of the topic before, and including, Sunday evening's installment.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Monday, November 14 at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub
