I'm A Celeb fans spot Matt Hancock's 'rule break' during Babatunde's exit
Oh dear!
Last updated 25th Nov 2022
When news broke that former health secretary Matt Hancock was set to take part in the 2022 series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, it's safe to say the majority of the nation were left angry at the decision.
After arriving alongside comedian Seann Walsh as a late arrival, following Olivia Attwood's shock exit, Matt was voted to take part in a number of Bushtucker trials, with many thinking he'd be the first voted out.
HOWEVER, with just two days to go until the big final, Matt is still standing alongside Mike Tindall, Owen Warner, Jill Scott and Seann Walsh, with many now thinking he could make it all the way to the final.
And whilst Matt has openly spoke about his mistakes during the pandemic to his fellow camp mates, it seems eagle-eyed viewers have noticed the Conservative MP breaking a major camp rule.
During Babatunde Aleshe's exit from the show on Wednesday evening, Matt gave the comedian a goodbye hug whilst saying: "Oh you are so wonderful," before adding: "Will you say that to Gina?"
As pointed out by showbiz reporter Richard Arnold on Thursday's (24th November) Good Morning Britain, sending messages to the outside world is strictly against camp rules, with him telling host Susanna Reid: "Sending a message to the outside world..." before Susanna asked: "Is that not allowed?"
Richard replied: "No. You're not allowed to send a message to the outside."
After co-host Ben Shephard pointed out: "Chris Moyles has got a hat with a 'T' on for his girlfriend?", Richard revealed: "Yes but that's not a subliminal message I suppose. Because I'd be sending up a flare at this point! I mean, it's been long enough hasn't it.
"There you have it, Matt Hancock breaking rules."
