Tuesday 22 November 2022 11:47 PM I'm A Celebrity's Matt Hancock belts out Queen classic I Want To Break Free ... trends now

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! viewers were left cringing on Tuesday night after watching Matt Hancock belt out a Queen song during a karaoke session.

The campmates were given an unexpected night out at the legendary Jungle Arms pub in the episode, taking part in a game of beer pong to win snacks.

While enjoying their treats, the celebrities all took turns in showing off their vocal talents in a karaoke session, with Matt singing Queen's classic I Want To Break Free.

However, viewers were left cringing at the former Health Secretary's performance, joking that they would be 'praying' to never see him take to the mic again.

Other viewers also re-shared footage of Matt, 44, belting out another Queen song when he took to the karaoke stage back in 2017.

In October 2017, Matt delivered an enthusiastic rendition of Queen's Don't Stop Me Now at the Tory party conference alongside Therese Coffey and Anne Milton.

And on Tuesday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity, Matt once again belted out a Queen hit, with viewers taking to Twitter to share their very honest opinions on his performance.

One wrote: 'Matt Hancock was obviously not invited to the Downing Street karaoke parties.'

Another penned: 'Today, I've seen Matt Hancock do charades and karaoke. Now this is a tweet I never thought I'd be writing.'

'I never thought I'd watch Matt Hancock doing karaoke in the middle of an Australian jungle but here we are,' a third tweeted.

A fourth commented: 'What did we do wrong as a country to deserve watching Matt Hancock sing karaoke?!'

A fifth said, 'Matt Hancock is loving this karaoke a bit too much,' while another added: 'Praying to god I never have to see Matt Hancock doing karaoke again.'

Matt also joined Boy George and the other campmates to deliver a group performance of Culture Club's hit Karma Chameleon.

After the group sing-along, Matt even admitted that he hadn't put on his best vocal performance, telling George: 'I murdered one of the high notes, I'm sorry.'

George, 61, then became the fourth celebrity to leave the Australian jungle after receiving the fewest amount of public votes. 

Earlier in the episode, Matt had recalled his family's 'harrowing' money woes during a candid chat with George and Seann Walsh.

The trio, alongside Jill Scott, had been having a discussion about generational differences between parents when talk soon turned to money and the hardships they faced years previously.

And Matt confessed his family 'nearly lost everything' after his step-father's business 'went bust'.

After Jill had remarked that their parents were from a generation of 'don't show any weakness', George, 61, recalled fearing the bailiffs coming while growing up amid his father's difficulty with money.

He said: 'My dad was a builder, owned his own firm. He was a gambler. He would take £10,000 and put it on a dog. 

'Dad would say, 'Don't answer the door… the bailiffs, or the gas man was coming…''

Seann, 36, then turned to the former health secretary, asking: 'Did you have the bailiffs round yours Matt?'

To which Matt, 44, replied: 'When the business nearly went bust we nearly lost everything. 

'You know when you type your postcode into the internet and it brings up your address? My stepdad wrote that software. The business started in '88 and in the early 90s is when it nearly went bust.'

The politician went on: 'We were going to lose the house, both my step dad and mum were going to lose their jobs. That was pretty harrowing. I was about 14.'

Commenting on Matt's story, Seann remarked: 'B****y hell, kill the vibe Matt.'

To which Matt replied: 'Well you said have you ever had the bailiffs round!'
