I'm a Celebrity fans thrilled as Charlene White 'destroys' Matt Hancock

I'm a Celebrity fans were left thrilled after Matt Hancock was grilled by Charlene White within minutes of arriving in the camp.

Wednesday's episode saw former health secretary Matt Hancock and comedian Seann Walsh join the show as late arrivals. They were then made to do the Bushtucker trial together before entering the main camp with the other celebs.

The pair managed to collect six stars out of a possible 11. Back in their camp, Matt then helped Seann shower by pouring cold water down a tube for him, before Matt bathed in a pool of water.

After being given a secret mission, the two headed into the main camp. On seeing the new arrivals, journalist Charlene told the Bush Telegraph: "I can only imagine this hasn't gone down well back home".

Charlene was clearly keen to grill the MP. The Loose Women panelist asked why he decided to join the show. Matt replied: “Because there’s so few ways in which politicians can show that we’re human beings, so I just thought it would be good to do that. I’ve got a sense of adventure.”

Matt explained the government has a "sort of stability" now, but Charlene interrupted with: “We’ve had stability for all of five minutes Matt.”

Matt replied: “Rishi’s great, he’ll be fine", while Charlene continued: “But you can understand if people aren’t very happy at home about it?”

She then told him she wasn't sure coming on the show was "the way to do it", before adding: "but you’re doing you and it’s a decision you’ve made and honestly it will be fascinating just to see.”

Fans at home were loving the interaction. Taking to Twitter, Lydia said: "Charlene destroying Matt Hancock, we love to see it". P said: "Poor Charlene has had to do news reports on Matt for the last year or two and now she’s stuck in a jungle with him".

Kirst said: "Charlene White ain’t having Matt in there is she [laughing emojis]". Emma said: "Charlene knows the craic". Ryan Glendenning said: "Charlene didn't hold back as we expected. That's why we love her."
