Sunday 6 November 2022 10:16 PM I'm A Celebrity 2022: Ant and Dec poke fun at Matt Hancock's highly publicised ... trends now

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly confirmed there will be two extra arrivals to the I'm A Celebrity camp and poked fun at Tory MP Matt Hancock, expected to be one of them, as the show launched on Sunday night.

Stressing the word 'mat', Dec added: 'You are going to be surprised, guys. We are going to be rolling out the welcome mat for them soon.'

Former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Matt was seen arriving in Australia earlier this week after it emerged he was going to make a controversial appearance on the show. 

On Sunday, Chris Moyles was the first star to arrive in a luxurious black Rolls Royce. The star admitted he was hoping to endear himself to the public, saying: 'People are going to be so pleased to see Chris Moyles. 

'They're going to say, "Wow, he's so much nicer than I thought he was going to be. He's not an a**ehole."'

Following on from Chris was former Love Island star Olivia Attwood. She said: 'I do think that with reality TV people in general there is an idea that we're lacking in the brains department and I'm going to confirm that.'

Of the show's tough trials, she said: 'My nerves are not actually trial-based. They're more actually living with other people but I got used to that on Love Island... I think the shower and toilet stuff doesn't actually phase me! I pee in the garden every time I go out.'

Charlene White was the third star to make appearance on the show. The ITV newsreader and Loose Women anchor said: 'Of all the shows I said I was never going to do, I'm A Celeb was definitely one of those...

'How do I think I'm going to cope? I'm not an outdoorsy person.'

Charlene has previously said she would not be able to resist crying on the show as she struggles to cope with the tough jungle living conditions.

The fourth celebrity to appear on screens was former England footballer Jill Scott. The Lionesses star said on entry: 'My biggest achievement was winning the Euros against Germany. 90,000 people at Wembley. The best day of my life. My next step is entering the jungle which I'm very excited about.

Comedian actor Babatunde Aleshe was the fifth star to enter, meeting the rest of the celebrities at a lavish villa: 'I definitely don't like rats. I had a hamster once and I was really scared of it.'

'Can I camp? No! I'm not that crazy. Do I have survival skills? Yes! I'm from Tottenham. We run.

'I'm scared of everything. Rats, spiders, snakes and at the top of that is frogs... Have you ever seen a toad?! Toads are huge! This is Australia, man. They've got animals that they ain't even discovered yet.'

The group was greeted by hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly who
