This Morning hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary couldn’t resist making a cheeky dig about Matt Hancock on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
On Thursday’s episode, the former health secretary joined Lioness Jill Scott and the camp’s first ever royal Mike Tindall in bopping along to pop icon Boy George’s Culture Club hit Karma Chameleon.
The campmates had begged for the 66-year-old pop star to give them a little concert in the jungle, which quickly led to them all singing along.
Watching the clip on This Morning, the hosts were laughing along before Dermot quipped: ‘Matt Hancock even claps out of time!’
Alison replied: ‘He’s got no rhythm!’
Hancock’s decision to appear on the reality show has been controversial from the start, and once in the jungle, he was voted in to face six bushtucker trials in a row, and only a few days ago a huge banner demanding his exit was flown above the camp.
The comments about Hancock singing Karma Chameleon come days after he was branded ‘out of touch with reality’ for not knowing the words to Sweet Caroline, when Jill was given the opportunity to reminisce on her roaring Euros success with three plays of the popular song.
Earlier this year, England celebrated winning their first major trophy since 1966 after beating Germany in the Euro 2022 final at Wembley.
Celebrations peaked when the Lioness’ belted out Sweet Caroline on the pitch following their epic win.
Almost recreating that scene, the campmates all belted out the tune – but not Mr Hancock, who very clearly didn’t know the words.
‘Matt Hancock doesn’t know the words to Sweet Caroline and it’s the most over played song in this country,’ one person wrote.
Another penned: ‘Matt Hancock is so out of touch with reality he doesn’t even know the words to Sweet Caroline.’
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV.
