Matt Hancock asked if he's doing 'Love Island' after 'I'm A Celebrity'

I'm A Celebrity viewers were left "howling" after Lioness Jill Scott asked Matt Hancock if he was doing Love Island.

The former health secretary, who has been slated for going into the jungle, got in some exercise in the latest episode of the ITV show, running back and forth through the camp.

Scott and comedian Seann Walsh ran with him for a bit but when they quit and he carried on, Scott asked Hancock what he was in training for.
