Ant and Dec have given their verdict on the late entry stars Matt Hancock and Seann Walsh - and told how the pair face a challenge in the jungle and a Bushtucker trial before they meet their campmates.
The Geordie duo spoke after filming Tuesday night's I'm A Celebrity... show where they unveiled the disgraced MP and comedian as new contestants in a teaser promo video.
Ant said: "It is great, it is very exciting. Someone said about Matt's smile at the end (looking odd on the show)...I know what they mean. I reckon there were a lot of people shouting at their telly.
"But yeah let's see what he is like. I don't know the man. I don't know anything about him but I am sure we are about to find out!"
In June 2021 Hancock was forced to resign as health secretary after CCTV footage surfaced of him embracing his aide Gina Coladangelo at a time when this would breach his own rules on physical contact.

Reading out some comments sent to them on Instagram, Dec said: "Is Matt bringing his secretary? Haha, I don't think so.
"But listen here is a fun fact, they have already gone in there this morning. Not in camp but in the jungle. They are somewhere in there already and have been given a task. Obviously they face a trial but they have been given something to do as well."
Another fan said they were looking forward to the political banter on the show and Dec said: "So are we, evening Prime Minister, whoever that is this week!"

Turning to discuss Seann Walsh, the duo sounded excited to meet him and Ant had clearly watched him perform stand up live.
Dec said: "I kind of feel like Seann Walsh has been forgotten a little bit. I'm really interested. He's been overshadowed by the whole Matt Hancock thing."
Ant added: "I thought it was interesting what he said about he's read some awful stuff written about him so he hopes this is a fresh start. And I bet he does. He does a good line in his stand up show about the whole kissing scandal and how he was cancelled because of it. So I hope we get a bit of that in the jungle and he talks about it."

Seann's career was left in tatters after his Strictly appearance in 2018. At the time, he was snapped kissing his professional partner Katya Jones, who was married to fellow pro Neil Jones at the time.
Seann was also in a long-term relationship with actress Rebecca Humphries, who he lived with at the time.
Both Matt and Seann have now recorded the Bushtucker trial, which we will see on tonight's show. It will also feature the pair going into camp and the reaction of the other campmates.
