Former health secretary Matt Hancock has finally entered the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, heading into camp during Wednesday's episode, alongside comedian Seann Walsh. But did you know the two newcomers have actually met before?
Hancock and Walsh entered the jungle earlier in the week, where they met at 'Mole Headquarters' before being tasked with taking on their first challenge.
And Walsh couldn't believe his eyes when he saw he was being joined by Hancock, with the comedian laughing hysterically in disbelief as the politician walked in.

The other celebs back in main camp were just as shocked, with the MP for West Suffolk getting a bit of a grilling by other campmates over his reasons for entering the jungle.
However, since Hancock and Walsh arrived in Australia, people are realising that they've actually met before.
In comedian Vittorio Angelone's podcast, Vittorio's Podcast, Walsh discusses a time that he met the politician in a lift of all places - and it sounds pretty awkward.
"I'm at Hyde Park tube station and I get in the lift and I'm stood next to, literally next to, Matt Hancock, who if you remember was caught kissing someone who wasn't his partner. I thought, he probably doesn't know who I am.
"And I wanted to pull down my mask and go 'I know how you feel'.
"I swear on my life, how crazy is that? I'm like pulling down my mask like 'remember me?'
"I'm the OG [...] Everyone was just looking at the former health secretary who had to deal with the global pandemic as opposed to the guy from the dance show."
In case you need a reminder, Walsh hit the headlines back in 2018 when he was taking part in Strictly Come Dancing. Despite being in a relationship, Walsh was pictured kissing his dance partner Katya Jones outside a pub. Jones was married to fellow Strictly star Neil Jones at the time.
It seems Hancock could be in for a bit of a gruelling time in the jungle. At the end of Wednesday's episode, presenting duo Ant and Dec arrived in camp where they revealed that Hancock had been chosen to do the next bushtucker trial - Tentacles of Terror.
The trial will see the MP taking part in his second of the show - and he's only been in the jungle for 24 hours.
"I just knew it was going to be me and I still felt nervous," said Hancock, as it was revealed he would be taking it on.
And fans are convinced that it won't be the last trial Hancock is voted in for, with many believing the public will want to see him put through his paces.
I'm A Celeb continues at 9pm on ITV.
