Ant and Dec respond as I’m A Celeb fans call for ‘rule’ to be implemented to make show less boring

Ant and Dec respond as I’m A Celeb fans call for ‘rule’ to be implemented to make show less boring

Ant and Dec have responded to claims that I'm a Celeb needs a new rule where Matt Hancock can't be picked for every trial.

Since I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! returned to our TV screens, one man has been a constant talking point.

Former health secretary Matt Hancock surprised all of us when he announced he would be ditching Westminster for the Australian jungle.

And, as expected, since the West Suffolk MP joined the show as a late arrival alongside comedian Seann Walsh, he has been chosen for every Bushtucker trial by the public.

And on tonight's show, he will once again be partaking in another trial, and will be entering the House of Horrors in a bid to bring back 11 stars to camp.

With Hancock continuously being picked by the public, some viewers have been calling for a rule to prevent the politician from being voted for every trial.

And now, hosts Ant and Dec have responded to those calls on a Instagram live after Saturday's show. Watch what they said below:

In the video, Ant said: "If you want other people to do the trial then you've got to vote for them.

"If you wanna see other people in the show, you've got to vote for those other people.

"Because as we know, the trials take up a third of the show, it's a big part of the show."

In the last few days, some I'm A Celeb fans have become concerned the show is becoming the 'Matt show', which is making it boring.

Many have taken to social media to discuss Hancock's Bushtucker trial run and the impact they think it is having on the show.

One Twitter user said: "Should be a rule that you can’t be voted for a trial if you did the previous one. Stop all this voting for the same person, this is going to get boring."

A second added: ""Can people stop voting Matt Hancock for all the trials on I’m a celeb its just gonna get boring otherwise."

And a third said: "Hate the Matt show. What happened to I’m a celebrity?! This is rubbish!!"

Viewers continue to vote Matt Hancock for the Bushtucker trials.

But just like Ant said, if viewers want to change who is doing the Bushtucker trials, then the option is there to choose their favourites.

However, a lot of people are obviously still enjoying Hancock making a fool of himself on live TV, as he continues to get the highest votes.

Viewers particularly seemed to enjoy the eating trial, where the MP had to eat cow's anus, amongst other delicacies.

One person commented: "What a better way to spend a Friday night watching Matt Hancock eating some penis and vagina."

While a second added: "Matt Hancock eating an a***hole and camel penis on I’m a celeb. Brilliant Friday viewing!"
