Boy George had a strong reaction after former health secretary Matt Hancock’s arrival in I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
The popular ITV reality series has returned for its 20th series, which is taking place in the jungle in Australia for the first time since 2019. Read The Independent’s review of the debut episode here.
I’m a Celeb was forced to relocate to Wales due to the pandemic, but this year’s crop of celebrities are back where the show truly belongs: Down Under.
During the first episode on Sunday (6 November), Mike Tindall and Jill Scott impressed the public with their supremely chilled reactions to their first challenges.
However, early frontrunner Olivia Attwood has sadly dropped out of the competition due to a medical matter less than 24 hours after she entered the jungle.
The second episode, which aired on Monday (7 November), saw the show’s first Bushtucker trial, which was done by Chris Moyles, Scarlette Douglas, Boy George, and Attwood prior to her departure.
Controversy rocked the show in October upon the announcement that disgraced politician Matt Hancock will be entering the series on Wednesday (9 November) alongside comedian Seann Walsh.

In previous years, campmates were being voted off the show after approximately 10 days or episodes. This means that viewers can expect to say goodbye to the first celebrity around Wednesday 16 November.

Boy George in tears over Matt Hancock’s arrival in camp

Boy George was left feeling conflicted after former health secretary Matt Hancock’s arrival in the jungle.
Boy George told presenter Scarlette Douglas: “You know, beginning of the pandemic my mum was in hospital. I wasn’t allowed to see her. I thought she was going to die.
“I was tweeting Greenwich hospital going, ‘Please look after my mum.’ I used my name, I was like, ‘Please look after my mum.’ And they did, she was fine… I feel like, I don’t want to be sitting here like I’m having fun with him.”
He continued: “It’s difficult for me because, you know, had something happened, if my mum had gone, I wouldn’t be here now. I would have gone when he walked in.”

As Matt Hancock and Seann Walsh head into the jungle, you’d be forgiven for not remembering that the original lineup also included Olivia Attwood of Love Island season three.
On the advice of the show’s medical team, she had to leave the show after just 24 hours.
But will she still get paid for participating?

Instead of its usual time of 9pm, I’m a Celebrity starts at 9.15pm this evening.
This is due to The Martin Lewis Money Show at 8.00pm having a runtime of 75 minutes, shifting the shows that follow on ITV slightly later.
However, some social media users have also noted that this 9.15pm start time also accommodates The Great British Bake Off’s finish time – convenient for fans of both!
Genuinely amazes me how #ImACeleb is starting later because of Bake Off, even though people seem less bothered about the latter this year 🤷🏼♂️
