I’m a Celebrity 2022 - live: Matt Hancock and Seann Walsh set to take on next Bushtucker Trial

I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is back – and viewers are wondering where Matt Hancock is.

The popular ITV reality series has returned for its 20th series, which is taking place in the jungle in Australia for the first time since 2019. Read The Independent’s review of the debut episode here.

I’m a Celeb was forced to relocate to Wales due to the pandemic, but this year’s crop of celebrities are back where the show truly belongs: Down Under.

During the first episode on Sunday (6 November), Mike Tindall and Jill Scott impressed the public with their supremely chilled reactions to their first challenges.

However, early frontrunner Olivia Attwood has sadly dropped out of the competition due to a medical matter less than 24 hours after she entered the jungle.

The second episode, which aired on Monday (7 November), saw the show’s first Bushtucker trial, which was done by Chris Moyles, Scarlette Douglas, Boy George, and Attwood prior to her departure.

Controversy rocked the show in October upon the announcement that disgraced politician Matt Hancock will be entering the series in a few days in alongside comedian Seann Walsh.

Matt Hancock says viewers will see him “warts and all” as he prepares to make his debut on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

“This experience will be an adventure,” he said.

“When I’m in camp, people will just see the real me. Survival in the jungle is a good metaphor for the world I work in.

“People will see me warts and all, see the human side of the guy behind the podium. I don’t think I’ve got any fears or phobias but I’m about to find out,” he added.

Comedian Seann Walsh is first up.

“I'm up for the best experience of my life, who wouldn't be!” he says in his first clip.

“Over the years, I've read a lot of things about myself and it does hurt,” he continues. “I'd love for it to be a kind of new start, and just maybe change opinions.”

Scarlette Douglas wants Charlene White to step back from the kitchen

Tuesday 8 November 2022 22:24 , Nicole Vassell

Charlene’s back as head chef for tonight’s meal of buffalo tail – but Scarlette would love the chance to take the lead next time.

I hope this doesn’t cause a rift between them – it’s been great to see them become friends in such a short space of time!

Here’s your need-to-know on Scarlette:

Tuesday 8 November 2022 22:21 , Nicole Vassell

Oooh, it’s nearly time for Ant and Dec to tell the campmates about the new arrivals taking on the next Trial! But first: a definition of lacerated for anyone still wondering...

“Flesh or skin torn or deeply cut.” You’re welcome!

Tuesday 8 November 2022 22:17 , Nicole Vassell

If I had to see this... so do you.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 22:15 , Nicole Vassell

Mike Tindall just casually talking about lacerating his liver... it’s giving Action Man.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 22:14 , Nicole Vassell

Poor Scarlette burst into tears after seeing the huntsman spider that Mike caught. I have a prediction that that won’t be the first one she’ll see...

Tuesday 8 November 2022 22:11 , Nicole Vassell

We all need a Mike in our lives, to be honest... someone to swoop in and take out a big ol’ spider out of the corner.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 22:07 , Nicole Vassell

Boy George is VERY unbothered about not getting to stay in the luxury RV... doesn’t mind at all.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 22:04 , Nicole Vassell

It’s Owen and Jill, everyone’s new favourite besties!

Tuesday 8 November 2022 22:03 , Nicole Vassell

Oh no, not mental maths... Owen Warner is many of us right now.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 22:02 , Nicole Vassell

Ant and Dec have confirmed that “two top secret new arrivals” are coming to the jungle soon – and will immediately face the next Bushtucker Trial!

I, for one, can’t WAIT to find out what’s coming for them...

Here’s all we know about Matt Hancock’s entry so far:

Where is Matt Hancock and is he going on I’m a Celebrity?

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:58 , Nicole Vassell

Just in case you missed the next UK number one single, “Hot Banana Water”...

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:56 , Nicole Vassell

Twitter is absolutely FAWNING over Babatunde after his trial triumph – some are even feeling guilty for putting him up to it in the first place...

The campmates try out hot banana water

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:53 , Nicole Vassell

There’s a new jungle delicacy around: hot banana water.

Boy George, Scarlette Douglas and Jill Scott are so moved by the prospect of some banana tea that they start singing and dancing about it... their original song is no “Insania” just yet, but it’s so nice to the celebs making their own fun, eh?

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:50 , Nicole Vassell

He's only gone and done it! Babatunde with the full nine stars, we LOVE to see it. 100ft in the air, and a leap of faith to finish? YES.

Here's your quick catchup of all things Babatunde:

People online are so behind Babatunde facing his fear of heights in this impressive task... I am people online.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:41 , Nicole Vassell

Halfway through and three stars collected – nice work, Baba!

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:40 , Nicole Vassell

I’m so here for Babatunde’s moments of self-affirmation as he does this task: “Come on, Baba!” Yes, let’s all cheer ourselves on the next time we’re walking on a spinning platform in the pouring rain!

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:38 , Nicole Vassell

We’re back, and Babatunde’s having a go at the Bushtucker Trial in the pouring rain... possibly comforting, in case he’s feeling homesick for the UK.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:33 , Nicole Vassell

And here’s our first break, just as Babatunde gets ready to start his first solo task! My prediction on how many stars he’ll win... a respectable six.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:31 , Nicole Vassell

This task, called “Horrifying Heights”, entails heights, leaps of faith AND boxes of creepy crawlies... it’s a no from me.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:30 , Nicole Vassell

“Why do you think the public volunteered you for this task?” Dec asks the comedian.

“Because they’re evil,” Babatunde responds. A fair assumption.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:28 , Nicole Vassell

Whey, there’s our first “Karma Chameleon” joke of the evening – a play on “karma comedian”, hahaha. Anyway, on with the Trial!

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:23 , Nicole Vassell

Some on social media don’t quite understand what Boy George is quite so annoyed about:

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:22 , Nicole Vassell

Don’t you just HATE it when you’re talking about someone... and they go and turn up to join the conversation?

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:21 , Nicole Vassell

Eek... Boy George doesn’t seem to be a fan of being left out of kitchen duties.

“I just feel like Charlene’s very controlling. She tells you what to do and it really rubs you up the wrong way.” Oh dear...

Charlene White takes the lead in the kitchen

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:19 , Nicole Vassell

Kangaroo sausages and ladyfingers are on the menu tonight, and news anchor Charlene White is making sure everything gets cooked to perfection.

“This camp, aka ‘Charlene’s kitchen’, you do what she says, when she says it, get it right,” says Scarlette. Yes ma’am!

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:18 , Nicole Vassell

For anyone who’s still confused after all this time: Ant’s in the white jacket, and Dec’s in the black one. You’re welcome!

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:16 , Nicole Vassell

And here we go! We start with a quick recap of yesterday’s eight-star win... and the tease of a clash between Boy George and Charlene White. Can’t we all just get along?!

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:09 , Nicole Vassell

Some on social media are a little startled at tonight’s episode’s later start.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 21:07 , Nicole Vassell

Who’s ready for more jungle antics?! There’s less than 10 mins until tonight’s I’m a Celeb gets underway – get your popcorn ready...

Social media comments suggest Gavin Williamson as new I’m a Celeb campmate after resignation

Tuesday 8 November 2022 20:50 , Nicole Vassell

After allegations of bullying, MP Gavin Williamson has left his government role as minister without portfolio.

However, some have suggested that it’s not too late for him to follow in Matt Hancock’s footsteps and head to the Australian jungle...

Someone else is entering the jungle soon too...

Tuesday 8 November 2022 20:35 , Nicole Vassell

Matt Hancock is pretty much the most talked-about campmate of this year, and we haven’t even seen him set foot in the jungle yet!

However, as well as we wait for the MP to make his debut, let’s not forget about the other celebrity set to complete this year’s lineup: Seann Walsh.

What do the I’m a Celebrity winners do next?

Tuesday 8 November 2022 20:02 , Nicole Vassell

We’re a few weeks away from finding out this year’s winner, but in its 20 years of being on our screens, I’m a Celebrity has churned out plenty of kings and queens to look back on.

Here’s a rundown of the 21 celebrities who’ve been crowned king or queen of the jungle so far, and what they got up to after...

Why is I’m a Celeb on later tonight?

Tuesday 8 November 2022 19:30 , Nicole Vassell

Instead of its usual time of 9pm, I’m a Celebrity starts at 9.15pm this evening.

This is due to The Martin Lewis Money Show at 8.00pm having a runtime of 75 minutes, shifting the shows that follow on ITV slightly later.

However, some social media users have also noted that this 9.15pm start time also accommodates The Great British Bake Off’s finish time – convenient for fans of both!

Tuesday 8 November 2022 19:01 , Nicole Vassell

After her departure from the jungle was announced on Monday (7 November), Olivia Attwood has maintained her silence and has not publicly commented on her early exit.

According to a spokesperson from the programme, the former Love Island star was not allowed to return to camp after a medical check.

You can find more information here:

Olivia Attwood has quit I’m a Celebrity after just 24 hours – but why?

Tuesday 8 November 2022 18:30 , Nicole Vassell

I’m a Celeb heads, fear not – there’s only two hours and 45 minutes until your next serving!

Tonight’s episode starts at the slightly later time of 9.15pm.

Tuesday 8 November 2022 17:55 , Nicole Vassell

Although Babatunde’s fear of heights was made very clear in Sunday’s episode, it seems as if he’ll still give tonight’s task a good go if his social media handler’s reaction is anything to go by.

After the comedian was announced as the next celebrity to do a Bushtucker trial in Monday’s episode, Babatunde’s Twitter handler retweeted the news with the caption: “Let’s Go!” and some emoji hearts.

ICYMI: First trial of the season resulted in Chris Moyles ‘nearly drowning'

Tuesday 8 November 2022 17:25 , Nicole Vassell

The first official Bushtucker Trial of the season saw Chris Moyles, Boy George, Scarlette Douglas and Olivia Attwood take on “HMS Drown Under”.

Moyles and Boy George had to lay down in a tank that was steadily filling with water, after which the radio DJ admitted he “panicked”.

Matt Hancock is finally heading into the jungle, but how much will he be paid to appear on the show?

How much is Matt Hancock getting paid for I’m a Celebrity 2022?

Do the other campmates know Matt Hancock is heading into the jungle?

Tuesday 8 November 2022 15:45 , Isobel Lewis

One question we’ve been pondering is whether our original campmates know that Matt Hancock is going into the jungle.

While the MP’s name was mentioned among initial rumours for the line-up, his appearance was only confirmed once the first 10 had touched down in Australia and, presumably, were in isolation.

Given the contentious politician and his party’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s fair to assume some of them might not be too pleased to see him...

While Olivia herself is yet to comment on her departure from the camp, the former Love Island star’s team have issued a statement on her Instagram page.

“For reasons beyond her control, her journey has been cut short,” the message read.

On a somewhat cryptic note, they concluded: “You will hear the truth from Olivia in due course.”

Will Olivia Attwood still be paid for I’m a Celebrity 2022?

ITV confirmed news of her exit to The Independent, stating that she left the series “as a precautionary measure” in order to “undergo some medical checks”.

How much are this year’s contestants being paid?

Tuesday 8 November 2022 09:40 , Annabel Nugent

Fees vary wildly from person to person – with one contestant this year said to be earning nearly £1m.

While ITV doesn’t disclose details of how much contestants are paid, reports nonetheless circulate about what the stars are taking home, and this year is no different.

Here’s a rundown of what everyone on I’m a Celebrity is reported to be making this year.

Man who Boy George ‘chained’ to a wall criticises ITV for selecting him

Tuesday 8 November 2022 09:20 , Annabel Nugent

A man who was “chained” to a wall by Boy George has criticised ITV for signing him up to I’m a Celebrity.

In 2007, Audun Carlsen was detained by the Culture Club singer in an ordeal that led to the singer being jailed.

Carlsen, 41, has said that it’s “hurtful that ITV” have “given him the platform” following reports the singer had become the highest-paid contestant in the reality series history.

What will vegetarian Boy George eat during the challenges?

Tuesday 8 November 2022 09:00 , Annabel Nugent

According to reports, ITV bosses have stated that although the singer is a vegetarian, he will still be participating in eating challenges.

They have said that his veggie alternatives will be equally awful.

Is there tension between Boy George and Charlene White?

Tuesday 8 November 2022 08:40 , Jacob Stolworthy

The first signs of camp drama were spotted during last night’s (7 November) episode with Boy George labelling Charlene “bossy”.

The “Chameleon” singer did not respond well to Charlene taking the lead in the kitchen.

“I’m a good cook,” he said while in the Bush Telegraph. “When someone’s already decided they’re in charge of the kitchen, it’s difficult to have your say.”

The vegetarian contestant later called the meal “horrible”, stating the mushrooms “weren’t cooked properly”...

Will Olivia Attwood still get paid?

Tuesday 8 November 2022 08:20 , Annabel Nugent

News that Olivia Attwood is leaving the jungle after only 24 hours has rocked the camp.

It’s been revealed that the TV personality was forced to withdraw from the reality show due to a medical matter.

A statement from her team told fans they will “hear the truth from Olivia in due course”.

The questions remains whether the former Love Island star will still get paid for her time on the show?

Viewers criticise Bushtucker challenge as ‘dangerous'

Tuesday 8 November 2022 08:00 , Annabel Nugent

Viewers at home raised concerns about the Bushtucker trial last night (7 November).

Chris Moyles, Scarlette Douglas, Boy George, and Olivia Attwood (prior to her exit) took part in “HMS Drown Under”.

During the challenge, Boy George and Chris were placed in tanks with goggles over their eyes. The tanks began to fill with cold water while Olivia and Scarlette had to unscrew taps that were hidden in small holes in a wall, which contained all kinds of creepy crawlies.

The water levels got “dangerously” high in Chris’s tank, causing the star to “panic”.

The question on everyone’s mind... Where is Matt Hancock?

Olivia Attwood’s team say public will ‘hear the truth in due course’

Monday 7 November 2022 22:24 , Isobel Lewis

Olivia Attwood’s loved ones have acknowledged her exit in a statement on her Instagram Story.

Their statement reads: “To say Olivia is heartbroken would be an understatement, she dreamed of doing I’m A Celeb for years, and was absolutely loving every second of the show and throwing herself into jungle life feet first (just as we knew she would).

“However, for reasons beyond her control her journey has been cut short. Your support and kind words have meant the absolute world to her, now as much as it always has. You will hear the truth from Olivia in due course.”
