I’m A Celeb fans in dramatic U-turn on campmate saying they now want him to win

I'M A Celebrity fans have done a dramatic U-turn and are backing an unlikely campmate to win.

When shamed MP Matt Hancock arrived as a late addition two weeks ago many expected him to be eliminated first.

After being made to do six consecutive Bushtucker Trials in a row - all of which he succeeded in collecting a decent amount of stars - viewers appeared to tire of trying to break him.

Charlene White, Scarlette Douglas and Sue Cleaver have all been eliminated ahead of him, and the swell of support seems to be growing, even if his campmates still remain wary.

We asked our readers on Facebook who they want to win the show, and one name cropped up time and time again: Matt.

One fan said: "Matt all day long really proved hiself in there."

Another said: "Matt hes a star."

A third posted: "Matt to win, he's the one who's kept them all alive."

But while he definitely has his supporters, there are those who will never vote for him, unable to forgive him for the pandemic shambles and for abandoning his constituency for three weeks for a £400,000 pay day.

One said: "Goes in the jungle to raise his profile, I just dislike him even more. Selfish selfish human. Can not even empty a bowl of water after he’s used it. What a horrible selfish person."

Survival is clearly a big deal to Matt, who is in the jungle to rehabilitate his image following the disastrous handling of the coronavirus pandemic as Health Secretary.

He was caught wiping away tears when he was saved by the public from the second I'm A Celebrity elimination.

During Sunday's episode viewers watched as Scarlette was sent packing from camp.

While the TV presenter was visibly upset to be going home, she wasn't the only one emotional.

Hancock could be seen getting teary after realising he would be remaining in camp for at least another day.

And he had another morale-boosting moment last night when Corrie legend Sue was eliminated.

It was less of a surprise for those watching at home though as the bookies correctly called she would be next out.
