I'm a Celebrity pair Matt Hancock and Boy George to team up for next Bushtucker Trial

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! viewers will get to see Boy George and Matt Hancock team up for the next Bushtucker Trial.

The MP was voted by the public to complete the dreaded eating trial, which will be his third task in three days, with the pop icon. Boy George, 61, hasn't minced his words about Hancock, 44, since he entered the jungle and even admitted in Wednesday night's episode he considered leaving the ITV show after his arrival.

Viewers have already predicted that ITV bosses could face a 'mass walkout' as a number of celebrities, including Boy George, Sue Cleaver and Mike Tindall, have already expressed their opinions on Hancock. Boy George confessed he was considering leaving the jungle.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, he became emotional as he said: "I don't really know what to do with my feelings. You know, today was obviously quite emotional for me. I don't know what it's going to be like, I actually don't really know if I want to be here."

Sue Cleaver soon encouraged him to stay, while she too shared her view on the matter. She said: "Just sleep on it tonight. Look, why he came in and what he's doing here, it's not our responsibility and it's not for us to take on."

Sue later said in the Bush Telegraph: "George was having a bit of a moment. I think if I'm honest that most of us are sort of feeling it as a bit of a strange situation to be in."

Matt was reeling as his name was called out by hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, while Boy George was also fearing the worst. Despite his reservations about the politicians choice to take part in the show, the Culture Club star will be forced to team up with the MP in order to win stars for their fellow campmates.

It was confirmed both would take on the eating challenge - and the announcement led to quite the reaction on Twitter. Taking to the social media platform, after fans called the previous challenge "boring" and "too easy", viewers are looking forward to "TV Gold" as the pair put their feelings aside to try and win all 11 stars.

One user wrote: "Absolutely despicable voting Boy George and Matt Hancock for the next trial #ImACeleb," while a second said: "Matt Hancock and Boy George doing tomorrow’s trial together is going to cause some serious drama … #ImACeleb "

" #ImACeleb #ImACelebrityGetMeOutOfHere looking forward to the vomit fruit smoothie for Boy George and b******* for Matt Hancock," a third tweeted. While a fourth agreed: "Because Boy George is a vegetarian that means that Matt Hancock will definitely be getting the kangaroo penis, balls etc #ImACeleb "

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