I’m A Celeb: Fans slam Mike Tindall for ‘bullying’ Matt Hancock during Celebrity Cyclone challenge

I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here! fans have been berating Mike Tindall for ‘bullying’ Matt Hancock after he ‘flattened’ the MP during the Celebrity Cyclone challenge.

The former England rugby pro, 44, was the last star to be voted out of camp in Saturday night’s episode, but as a member of the final four, he took part in the highly anticipated group stage match at the end of each series.

Jill went up the slippery hill first, followed by Matt and then Mike – and fans say when it was his turn, “saw an opportunity to crush Matt” when he landed on top of him.

The foursome managed to take home four stars out of four at Australia’s iconic Cyclone trial, with Lioness Jill calling the challenge “the most fun I’ve ever had.”

But fans couldn’t help but notice Mike’s interaction with Matt as he lay on the floor desperately trying to hold on to his big yellow stars.

After leaving the camp, one user wrote on Twitter: “Glad he was gone, he was a bully when Sue was in, and when beating him with his body in the cyclone was out of order, the last bully before voting out stupid and mean. .

“That must have hurt!” Fans said when it was Mike’s turn, ‘saw an opportunity to crush Matt’ as he landed on top of him – and even Ant and Dec noticed the tackle

Show time: Going into the trial the order was Jill, Matt, Mike and then Owen – as they all opted for different tactics for the trial with Matt taking a huge dip in the track while Owen tried to run through the normal track , in vain

“Glad he lost my votes 2 mate.”

Another wrote: ‘Not a tory fan but Matt was bullied and #MikeTindall deliberately attacked him during the cyclone.

“Yes, Matt was wrong, but so was the world, it was a pandemic. Bullying is not acceptable.’

Similarly, another added: “His harassment of Matt surprised me – he also flattened him during the cyclone – just threw himself at him – not nice.”

The same user said, “The full body clap in the cyclone did it for me – glad to see it from behind.”

On the other hand, some of Mike’s fans were happy with the move: “Mike Tindall saw an opportunity to beat Matt Hancock and he grabbed it. Absolute respect.’

When Mike jumped on Matt, even Ant and Dec said the tackle ‘must have hurt’ – and when questioned afterwards, the former rugby pro said he used Matt as his ‘anchor’.

Earlier in the episode, Mike accused Matt of “voting for votes” in a bid to be crowned Jungle King – and insisted that he “clearly wants to win” by putting his name-printed clothing in the camp cameras’ recording.

Each campmate has their name and voting rules printed on the back of their jackets and T-shirts, with Mike claiming Matt made them more visible.

In the Bush Telegraph he said: ‘Matt makes sure his T-shirt and his phone numbers are always visible. Matt clearly wants to win.’

Mike was seen flipping the MP’s belongings the other way round and added to the camera, “I take great pleasure in turning it over every time he leaves camp.”

Once a politician, always a politician. Always looking for voices,” the sportsman added.

The celebrities then returned to camp to enjoy an ice cream and got a glimpse into the real world as they learned England’s scores so far at the Qatar World Cup.

When they received a letter to camp, an excited Mike revealed to his co-stars, “Celebrities, today you are all taking part in today’s Trial – Celebrity Cyclone.”

‘I never thought I’d make it to the Cyclone. It’s going to be absolutely brilliant, I can’t wait,’ said Matt.

Echoing his thoughts, Owen added, “I’m just totally buzzing, can’t believe I’m here, can’t believe I’m doing this.” I am speechless. I’m just literally speechless.’

And the celebs were certainly dressed for the occasion, wearing tight metallic hot pants and matching capes.
