Matt faced his sixth trial of the series, Deserted Down Under, in which he was buried in a coffin-sized container filled with snakes.
The former Health Secretary was given just 11 minutes to unlock 11 stars, scrabbling around in near darkness for keys.
The Member of Parliament went onto win seven meals for camp as he struggled to find complete the trial in the allotted time limit.
But the West Suffolk MP left viewers cringing last night as he harked back to past events when reflecting on his performance during the trial.
The controversial personality revealed he thought of his now girlfriend, 43-year-old Gina Coladangelo, whom he had the affair with.
This was despite the former Secretary of State setting Covid rules keeping much of the country apart whilst lockdowns ravaged the UK.
He said: “It was definitely the calmest I’ve been in a trial, I thought of my children, I thought of Gina, I thought of everybody I loved, I just tried to be calm, but I wasn’t the quickest, that was the problem isn’t it.”
Matt added: “I only got seven stars out of eleven”

This comes as a fresh wave of backlash enveloped the show as a banner was flown over the camp demanding Matt Hancock leaves.
Bosses were hit with another wave of backlash as a plane sent by angry petitioners flew over the camp, with the message: “Covid bereaved say get out of here!”
Over 44,000 people signed an appeal launched on to prevent the MP from taking part in the reality TV show.
Fans were left furious the politician was asked to take part in the show after breaking coronavirus guidelines during the pandemic.
