It’s Splatt Hancock!

- By Sarah Packer

MATT Hancock’s I’m A Celebrity... nightmare continued last night when he was doused in fish guts and smelly custard before being pelted in feathers during his third bushtucker trial.

Viewers have repeatedly voted for the former British health secretary to face the jungle challenges, and he conceded that it was ‘predictabl­e’ that he would be humiliated again.

Last night’s challenge was a twist on the quiz show Who Wants To Be A Millionair­e? dubbed Who Wants To Look

Silly On Air? On learning he had been chosen to undergo the task alongside Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner, 44-year-old Hancock said: ‘That was the most predictabl­e outcome. It’s called looking silly on air. It will be me, then!’

Hancock was forced to eat a sheep’s vagina and a pig’s anus on Friday, while on Thursday he had to face the underwater trial Tentacles Of Terror.

Yesterday, Warner, 23, and Hancock had to answer six questions in 60 seconds while being pelted with substances including fish guts, custard, brown sauce and slime. However, they only managed to win five out of 11 stars. Afterwards, Warner, said: ‘I’m not happy, man. I’m covered in all sorts and we’ve only got five stars. He [Matt] was doing well until you got me on his team.’

Meanwhile, it can be revealed that Hancock’s ex-wife Martha threw a party for her single friends last Thursday to escape the blanket coverage of her exhusband. One guest said:

‘Matt’s everywhere. Martha just wanted to have a nice time and forget about it.’
