Matt Hancock won just seven stars for camp during his sixth consecutive Bushtucker Trail during Monday’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.

During Deserted Down Under, the former Health Secretary, 44, said he had ‘no idea’ why viewers once again voted for him to take on the gruesome challenge.

He told hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: ‘There’s nothing I can do about it, I just throw myself at the Trial.’

Another trial: Matt Hancock won a seven stars for camp during his sixth consecutive Bushtucker Trail during Monday’s I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!

The challenge saw Matt being buried alive for eleven minutes, during which he would have to retrieve keys to unlock eleven stars.

The West Suffolk MP has faced backlash from viewers after reportedly earning £400K for his appearance while parliament is still in session.

And in true I’m A Celeb style, he was joined by insects and critters as well as a selection of snakes – his worst fear – during his sixth consecutive gruesome trial.

Not a clue: During Deserted Down Under, the former Health Secretary, 44, said he had ‘no idea’ why viewers once again voted for him to take on the gruesome challenge

SIXTH trial: He told hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: ‘There’s nothing I can do about it, I just throw myself at the Trial’

Viewers watched as he forced to reach his arms into small holes to search for the keys but struggled at first.

Seemingly horrified by his companions, he called out: ‘Something’s going up my leg! It’s inside my shorts.’

The lights then cut out and Matt was forced to complete the rest of the challenge in total darkness.

Scary: The challenge saw Matt being buried alive for eleven minutes, during which he would have to retrieve keys to unlock eleven stars

And the Tory MP appeared less than impressed at the end of trial when he was told he had bagged seven out of a possible eleven meals for camp.

He said: ‘I just managed to keep really calm. I had to be gentle with them [the snakes] but they were fine.’

He added: ‘My biggest fear [was snakes]. I kind of feel like I’ve faced that. I’ve conquered a fear.’

He noted: ‘It’s not 11 is it? Fine for dinner, haven’t hit it out of the park.’

Creepy crawlies: In true I’m A Celeb style, he was joined by insects and critters as well as a selection of snakes – his worst fear – during his sixth consecutive gruesome trial

On Sunday, viewers were left unimpressed after he was nominated to do his sixth consecutive Bushtucker Trial.

After the news was delivered by hosts Ant and Dec, Matt’s campmate Babatunde Aleshe declared: ‘You are the man, you are the man! You’ve done four trials, you got stung by a scorpion and now you’ve got to do this trial!’

But fans claim it’s ‘getting boring’ watching Matt do every trial and they would like to see some of the other celebs do a trial.

Pitch black: The lights then cut out and Matt was forced to complete the rest of the challenge in total darkness

Taking to Twitter to express their annoyance, one person wrote: ‘Why are people continuing to vote for Matt Hancock to do trials? He’s loving the attention.

‘He should be in Britain doing the job he was elected to do. I’m A Celeb has now become the Matt Hancock show! Yuk!

‘ImACeleb it is about time people left Matt Hancock alone he has done four trials and still he is being picked on give it a rest,’ wrote someone else.

Oh dear! Viewers watched as he forced to reach his arms into small holes to search for the keys but struggled at first

Unimpressed: The Tory MP appeared unimpressed at the end of trial when he was told he had bagged seven out of a possible eleven meals for camp

Showing some sympathy, another I’m A Celebrity fan wrote: ‘Starting to feel sorry now for @MattHancock yeah he has made some huge mistakes, but give the trials to someone else now. Let them have the pressure! #ImACeleb.’

While another person posted: ‘Ok, so like the rest of the nation I wanted to see Matt Hancock scream and do the trials BUT now we know he is doing ok STOP giving him the air time he wants! STOP voting for him now! And give him something he doesn’t want! Less air time!’

Someone else shared: ‘Funny how we moan about it but I bet half of you ain’t voting for someone different, I agree it’s boring watching him do every trial because ultimately he smashes them! It’s not the fault of I’m A Celeb, it’s us, if everyone moaning voted someone different we might see someone new.’

Watch the next live episode of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! on Tuesday at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
