Matt, 44, and former Towie star James Argent, 35, were on night duty together when the conservative politician made the surprising revelation.

Arg attempted to strike up a conversation on upbringing as he quizzed the former I'm A Celebrity campmate on his own childhood.

He revealed that he grew up in Cheshire as the former ITVBe star asked Matt if he knew where he spent his childhood.

Matt knew his stuff as he instantly replied 'Essex' and he then went as far to reveal that he had indeed watched the long-running reality series.

When James asked him if he had seen the show, Matt repeatedly exclaimed: "Of course I have", which left James almost in shock and fans in hysterics.

Taking to X - formerly known as Twitter - one fan said: "Haha, Matt Hancock, watches #TOWIE! 🌝😂."

A second exclaimed: "My husband and I practically on the floor when Matt Hancock admitted he watches Towie."

"Matt Hancock said he watches Towie, and here I am in absolute hysterics," joked a third.

Whilst a fourth remarked: "@RealJamesArgent and @MattHancock look like they’re on an awkward @FirstDates!"

Elsewhere, James quizzed the politicians on what his former colleagues - including ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson - would think of him taking part in the gruelling series.

As Matt also took Arg's questions on how he got into politics and even what party he belonged to, he declared: "I have no idea what he would think."
