I’m A Celeb star Matt Hancock finally made his entrance into the jungle tonight (November 9) but he suffered a mishap just minutes into the show.

The former health secretary arrived in a separate camp with fellow newbie Seann Walsh.

Seann arrived at the Mole Headquarters, a separate camp to the main camp, shortly before MP Matt turned up.

However, Matt suffered an unfortunate but hilarious blunder as he made his way into the camp.

Meanwhile, one tweeted: “Oh my god he fell on the bridge… this is one of the most surreal moments of telly I’ve ever ever seen.”

What did Seann Walsh say to Matt Hancock?

Seann said: “Eugh!” as he wiped his eye. He added: “You just spat all over my face!”

Others were in hysterics over Seann’s reaction to Matt entering the Mole Headquarters.

As Seann spotted the MP walking in, he burst into giggles and struggled to control it.

He said in the Bush Telegraph: “Matt Han…. [laughs]…. I can’t… Matt Han… [laughs].”

Seann’s reaction left viewers amused and many admitted they could relate!
