I’m A Celeb: Will Matt Hancock be in tonight’s episode? Expected arrival date
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here is nearly here, with the latest series about to kick off from Australia.
Ant and Dec have returned to bring fans the latest from the jungle, with stars including Boy George, Mike Tindall, Chris Moyles, Charlene White, and Jill Scott set to brave the show.
However, there are expected to be a couple of more late arrivals – comedian and Strictly Come Dancing star Seann Walsh, and former health minister Matt Hancock.
Mr Hancock’s booking caused widespread outrage, with many calling for him to be axed from the series.
He’s defended his appearance, saying he will still be able to receive information about urgent constituency matters, and that he’ll make a charity donation at the end of it all.
However viewers feel about it, many are eager to see how he gets on.
Will Matt Hancock be in tonight’s episode?
Mr Hancock will not appear in tonight’s episode of I’m A Celebrity. Instead, we’ll see the original 10 celebrities get to grips with some terrifying tasks as they head to camp.
To mark its grand return, the show has said it is opening with ‘one of the largest and most elaborate entrances to the jungle camp to date’.
Kicking off the series in style, Live Island star Olivia Attwood, radio DJ Chris, Loose Women star Charlene, comedian Babatunde Aleshe, and former England footballer Jill will arrive by a luxury car at a waterside villa in the Gold Coast.
Meanwhile, arriving one-by-one by boat to a marina will be Boy George, Mike, Coronation Street’s Sue Cleaver, TV presenter and property expert Scarlette Douglas, and Hollyoaks’ Owen Warner.
Jill, Charlene and Babatunde will be challenged with the show’s new version of the infamous plank.
Elsewhere, Olivia and Chris will face the ultimate leap of faith as they are tasked with jumping out of a plane.
The remaining campmates – Mike, Sue, and Owen – will be put to the test on the ‘Critter Cruise’ where they must each try and secure a star from a boat’s mast by completing a challenge.
Among the obstacles to unlocking the stars is a code that Mike must break and a ‘hell hole’ of critters where Sue must search for fish eyes.
Meanwhile, Sue will have to remove bolts from a blocked pipe while battling bugs and grime.
When is Matt Hancock expected to arrive on I’m A Celebrity?
Mr Hancock’s arrival date has not been confirmed.
However, in past years, the final two celebrities usually arrive around four episodes into the series. That would put Mr Hancock’s arrival at around Wednesday November 9.
ITV usually teases the arrival of the final two celebrities before they appear on the scene, so we’re sure we’ll get plenty of warning.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here returns tonight at 9pm on ITV.
