Matt Hancock is said to have yelped in pain after being stung by a scorpion while in camp on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

He's been in there less than a week, but already Hancock has faced eating fish eyes, acted as a mole within the camp and been grilled by his campmates over his actions during coronavirus lockdowns.

His jungle adventure became even more eventful this weekend, when medics were reportedly forced to rush into camp after he'd been stung by a scorpion.

The creature is said to have attacked the MP shortly before breakfast, leaving him to shout out in pain as it nipped him unexpectedly.

A source cited by The Mirror explained: "Matt didn't see the scorpion until it was too late and it bit his finger. He felt a lot of pain and made a yelping noise, but thankfully for him there was no lasting damage.

"Medics checked him over and gave him a clean bill of health but the whole camp is now watching out for them."

Hancock is said to have described the scorpion as being 'twice as painful as a bee sting'.

The sting took place just before Hancock learned he would be taking on the next Bushtucker Trial, which has been named 'House of Horrors'.

Campmate Babatúndé Aléshé could be heard making reference to the scorpion's attack against Hancock on air last night, when Ant and Dec went into the camp to deliver the news of who the public had chosen to take part.

Aléshé said: Do you know what Matt, you are the man, you are the man, four trials and you got stung by a scorpion and you have to go do a trial."

Hancock has already faced multiple trials in the jungle.

The scorpion was safely removed from camp after stinging Hancock in an attempt to prevent any other campmates from facing an attack of their own.

According to the Australian Museum, Australian scorpion stings can cause inflammation and pain for several hours. The creatures can be found under logs, rocks and in shallow burrows in earth banks, and can grow up to 12cm long.

A first-look clip from I'm A Celeb shows Ant and Dec grimacing as Hancock sifts his way through a bath full of offal while surrounded by two and a half million flies.

The trial marks the fifth trial in a row that Hancock has been chosen to take part in, while many of the other campmates wait patiently to learn whether they'll be getting to eat each night.
