Monday moan

-

Two things have dominated showbiz this week: the World Cup and I’m a Celeb. So here’s a riddle for you: what does the first have in droves that the second desperatel­y needs?

Yep, you’ve got it, balls.

For there’s clearly a dire shortage of them in the IAC camp.

(Unless you count the kangaroo bits in the eating challenge or the two veg, opposite, of course).

All week we waited for campmates to cross-examine flop star former health secretary Matt Hancock.

But the predicted mauling from the notoriousl­y catty-tongued Boy George was more like a light pawing from a shy and fluffy kitten.

While journalist Charlene White – who lost a great-aunt to Covid – seemed more likely to treat Hancock to a mani-pedi than nail him for his hypocrisy.

Even gobby Chris Moyles failed to properly grill him.

So have they all been drinking the Kool-Aid – like the millions turning a blind eye to Qatar’s human rights record?

Or were they just biding their time before they struck?

Hopefully it’s the latter. Because, the only heat being put on Hancock this week... was coming from the campfire.
