But viewers rushed to social media after former Health Secretary Matt, 44, just missed out on a place in the final two - claiming Ant and Dec, both 47, couldn't hide their reactions.

One tweeted: "Ant and Dec look relieved as the nation finally wakes up and votes Matt off #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb how he made it to the final three though."

Another said: "You can absolutely feel the awkwardness from Ant & Dec having to talk to him, especially Ant. It's forced and awful to watch, they are clearly uncomfortable and not falling for his bulls***. Just wishing it over, same as most of us. #ImACeleb."

And a third added: "Dec’s facial expressions and body language through that interview said it all. Couldn’t even look at him."

During his exit interview Matt once again said one of the main reasons he did I'm a Celebrity was to show the public the person behind the politician.

Shortly after Matt's arrival in the jungle - which saw him grilled by his campmates - Ant and Dec suggested viewers may never see the 'real' him.

Speaking on their Instagram live, Dec began: "There is a lot of very open and honest conversations going on which I think is what we all wanted to see when we heard that Matt was going in."

He continued: "We wanted the other campmates to have the opportunity to really grill him in an enclosed environment, I suppose."

Ant then added: 'And I know Sue said "Oh, we've drawn a line under it now"'. 

"I don't think they have," interrupted Dec, with his co-presenter then adding: "I don't think so, especially Chris Moyles, he said he still doesn't feel like he saw the real Matt, and I kind of agree, will we ever see the real Matt? I'm not so sure."

"I don't know," agreed Dec, shaking his head.
