I’m a Celebrity 2022 – live updates: Jill Scott, Matt Hancock and Mike Tindall among favourites to win
Matt Hancock has settled into jungle life on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and he has done many, many trials.
He is one of the favourites to win, alongside stars such as Jill Scott and Mike Tindall.
Hancock’s arrival at the camp was met with mixed emotions at the start, with Boy George crying on camera, and Charlene White schooling the former health secretary over his decision to join the show.
Now, though, the campmates have started to bond with the politician (comedian Seann Walsh was the first to engage in a bromance with Hancock).
Olivia Attwood, who was the first to exit, having been forced to drop out of the competition due to a medical matter less than 24 hours after she entered the jungle, said of Hancock after she left: “It’s funny to see him slimed and gunked but it isn’t funny if you didn’t get to hold someone’s hand when they died while he was snogging someone in his office.”
Big moments from the 20th series have so far included Walsh opening up about his Strictly cheating scandal to Corrie star Sue Cleaver, Hancock saying he’s looking for forgiveness, and former Rugby player Tindall’s eyebrow-raising Princess Anne story.

That’s all folks! The next challenge will be voted for by the campmates themselves – and Chris Moyles definitely will not be getting chosen!

Charlene… Just GO in the RV!!
Wednesday 16 November 2022 22:23 , Tom Murray
One fish for one star and boy does that thing look puny! Chris has his head in his hands. Boy George has a single mushroom.
Wednesday 16 November 2022 22:16 , Tom Murray
Correction: FOUR balls for Owen!
Wednesday 16 November 2022 22:15 , Tom Murray
Owen has three balls! Turns out the key is just to moan about being hungry the whole time.
Wednesday 16 November 2022 22:13 , Tom Murray
Jill and Owen really carrying the team here
Wednesday 16 November 2022 22:11 , Tom Murray
Next up at the Unfair Funfair: The Terrible Teacup. Boy George’s take? A good cup of tea is better than sex.
Wednesday 16 November 2022 22:05 , Tom Murray
Sue has her ball and she very graciously agrees to give it to the perpetually starving Owen.
Wednesday 16 November 2022 21:53 , Tom Murray
Hard to explain what Matt, Mike, Scarlette and Seann are doing now, but Mike Tindall is very good at shooting a water gun.
PMQs: Camp edition
Wednesday 16 November 2022 21:46 , Tom Murray
Matt Hancock is not happy to debate defence spending: “I’m not doing it”. And Boy George’s feud with Scarlette seems to be intensifying.
Wednesday 16 November 2022 21:38 , Tom Murray
This is awkward… Scarlette is asking Boy George about his infamous 2009 imprisonment and he is not happy at all.
Wednesday 16 November 2022 21:32 , Tom Murray
No luck getting those stars then? Just the one star, actually.
Wednesday 16 November 2022 21:31 , Tom Murray
He’s not even using the spanner! What is happening!
Wednesday 16 November 2022 21:30 , Tom Murray
He’s dropped his stars!!! This is disastrous…
Wednesday 16 November 2022 21:26 , Tom Murray
It’s not going well… Chris is apologising profusely as he walks through this tight flooded tunnel. It does look horrendous to be fair.
Wednesday 16 November 2022 21:24 , Tom Murray
“Just cockroaches so far,” says Dec. It doesn’t do much to assuage Chris’ panic.
Chris Moyles looks genuinely terrified
Wednesday 16 November 2022 21:15 , Tom Murray
Moyles is off to do the Bushtucker Trial and boy does he look terrified. Lots of hugs with the rest of camp before he leaves.
Brilliant story from Chris
Wednesday 16 November 2022 21:13 , Tom Murray
The camp mates are talking about the times they’ve arrived late for work. Moyles, I think, wins.
“I’ve arrived at the studio, got out of the cab, walked in, as the jingle’s playing… I just walked through the door, put my headphones on, went, ‘Good morning everybody’. It was timed to perfection, but we all started laughing rather than carry on and be cool.”
Wednesday 16 November 2022 21:05 , Tom Murray
Will I ever be able to get the image of Mike Tindall’s budgie smugglers out of my head? Who knows.
Here we go again…
Wednesday 16 November 2022 20:27 , Tom Murray
Evening folks! We’re back for another episode starting soon – and this time, somehow, Matt Hancock is not the one doing the trial! Chris Moyles will take today’s Bushtucker Trial, “Boiling Point”. Sounds ominous.
Mike Tindall ‘broke royal protocol’ by calling politicians ‘f***ers’ on I’m A Celebrity
Wednesday 16 November 2022 10:15 , Peony Hirwani
Mike Tindall has reportedly “breached royal protocol” after sharing his views on politicians during the most recent episode of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
“I just think all politicians are f***ers,” he said. “I mean, for them to even have the conversation just because they’re all Boris fans that didn’t like how Boris was ousted that you won’t pick the best person for the job, that sums politicians up.”

Matt Hancock surprises I’m a Celeb viewers with honest view on Liz Truss’ ‘political career’
Wednesday 16 November 2022 05:00 , Peony Hirwani
ICYMI: Matt Hancock shared his honest views on Liz Truss’s “political career” on I’m a Celebrity… Ge Me Out of Here.
When Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver asked Hancock “what went wrong” with Truss, who resigned as prime minister after just 45 days in office, he replied: “In a way, they were unlucky in that globally interest rates all went up, just at the time that they were also bringing in a financial statement where you say, ‘We’re going to do all these expensive things and we’re not going to say how we’re going to pay for them.’
Cleaver then asked Hancock: “Where does that leave her now?” to which he replied: “Her political career is over. Totally finished. No ambiguity at all.”

The ITV News bulletin just then announcing “Matt Hancock under fire form voters.” I wonder why.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 22:17 , Jacob Stolworthy
Aaaand the person doing the next trial is… Chris Moyles. He made the mistake of showing fear!
Tuesday 15 November 2022 22:16 , Jacob Stolworthy
It might be Boy George or Chris Moyles.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 22:15 , Jacob Stolworthy
So, who’s going to be doing the next trial? We’re about to find out.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 22:14 , Jacob Stolworthy
For the three stars the celebs got earlier, they have been treated to a nice tasty meal of… crocodile feet.

Jill, please don’t put the idea of Matt Hancock on Love Island in our heads.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:44 , Jacob Stolworthy
Lioness Jill Scott leading Matt Hancock and Seann Walsh in a morning run. Either that or she’s running away from them. I reckon the latter.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:43 , Jacob Stolworthy
Babatúndé says he had “butterfingers” – you can say that again. Three out of 11 stars. His campmates are not gonna be happy…
Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:41 , Jacob Stolworthy
This is a paltry effort. I’m counting two stars? Maybe three.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:39 , Jacob Stolworthy
This has left Chris Moyles essentially standing in a box doing nothing other than gettig absolutely covered in bugs.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:38 , Jacob Stolworthy
So, for this trial, the trio have to work as a team, to unscrew stars in their respective boxes – Boy George at the bottom, followed by Babatúndé and the Chris.
The only problem being? Babatúndé keeps dropping his.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:35 , Jacob Stolworthy

Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:27 , Jacob Stolworthy
Meanwhile, Chris Moyles is scared to even cross the bridge.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:27 , Jacob Stolworthy
No I’m a Celebrity contestant has ever looked more aggrieved to not be doing these trials than Owen Warner.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:25 , Jacob Stolworthy
Ant and Dec making it very clear there that ITV is now officially ITV1 (again).
Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:24 , Jacob Stolworthy
Chris Moyles is angry because someone keeps nabbing his towel.
“As much as I love everybody, I don’t want to dry my body with the stench of your balls,” he says, to which we say: ‘Fair enough.”
Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:22 , Jacob Stolworthy
Sue Cleaver on Matt Hancock: “I don’t think he’s showing good leadership.”

Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:18 , Jacob Stolworthy
So, here we go! The preview is teasing the Matt Hancock-less trial ahead.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 21:05 , Jacob Stolworthy
Well, that was incorrect. We’re starting at the slightly later time of 9.15pm tonight because of Mr Martin Lewis.
Tuesday 15 November 2022 20:50 , Jacob Stolworthy

It also seems as if Matt Hancock received a message from the outside world…

ICYMI: On the latest episode of I’m a Celebrity, Mike Tindall told his campmates about the time he s***-dropped in front of his mother-in-law, Princess Anne.
“I was dancing on the dance floor, I had like flares on, full outfit but it was quite tight, nothing ever fits – rugby player’s bum and legs – so I was dancing with my mother-in-law and I did a s***-drop in front of my mother-in-law,” he said.
“Ripped my trousers, straight in front of her. It happened to be that my boxers that I had on at that time said ‘nibble my nuts’.
“As I’ve turned round, she’s gone, ‘I’d rather not.’ I’ve gone, ‘I’m going,’ and walked off.”

One of the questions frequently asked about I’m a Celebrity concerns the fees celebrities get paid to take part – which can vary wildly from person to person.

Why I’m a Celebrity’s Kiosk Keith was ‘fired’ after 15 years
Monday 14 November 2022 07:07 , Peony Hirwani
ICYMI: Kiosk Keith was just as much a staple on I’m a Celebrity as Ant and Dec, before he was allegedly fired from the show in 2017.
It was his job to take the contestants’ bag of dollars and ring the other stars back at camp, asking them a difficult question which, if they answered it correctly, earned them some treats from the Shack. If they got it wrong, however, he would slam down the shutters and the celebrities would be left with nothing.
Part-way through 2017’s series of I’m a Celebrity, Keith disappeared. At the time, Ant and Dec told fans he was unwell and he was temporarily replaced by a woman called Kiosk Kath.
