EXCLUSIVE: Matt Hancock of I’m A Celeb is stabbed by a poisonous SCORPION and treated by medics – after being voted into his FOURTH trial of the series
Matt Hancock was stung by a venomous scorpion at the I’m A Celeb camp Sunday morning, MailOnline can reveal.
The show’s medics treated the former health minister, 44, after a scorpion pinched his finger — but luckily for Matt, it wasn’t a fatal sting.
A TV source revealed that the Tory MP compared the injury to a bee sting, but said the pain was twice as bad.
They added: “Matt was shocked – it’s not every day a scorpion stings you.

“He’s had such an exciting first week in camp completing trial after trial — and now he’s been treated by the show’s medics too.
“The scorpion was safely removed from the camp and luckily it wasn’t poisonous.”
Comedian Babatunde Aléshé alluded to the scorpion sting after Ant and Dec revealed Matt had been voted into his fourth Bush Tucker trial.
He said, ‘You know what Matt? You’re the man, you’re the man, four trials and you’ve been stung by a scorpion, and you’ve got to do a trial.”

Matt did his first Bushtucker trial, Beastly Burrows, with fellow final contestant Seann Walsh, 36, and has since been chosen by the public to take on every other challenge.
During Saturday night’s show, he was doused in fish guts before being pelted with feathers while trying to answer quiz questions in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? theme trial.
Matt and Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner, 23, was disappointed after earning only 5/11 stars for the camp as their co-stars watched during the trial, nicknamed Who Wants To Look Silly On Air?
He was forced to eat the vagina of a sheep and the anus of a pig on Friday during the show’s eating test and on Thursday he underwent the Tentacles Of Terror underwater test.

Though it could be Sunday night’s lawsuit that most frightens Matt, after admitting he was afraid of snakes, which are expected to be hidden in the House Of Horrors, prior to his jungle stint.
He said, ‘I’ve never seen a snake up close, so I’m quite concerned about anything snake related.
“I’m not claustrophobic or at least I’m not found, but that’s the thing about I’m A Celebrity – it’s the unknown.”
Matt told his camp mates this week that he wrestled himself through the grueling ordeals in hopes of “a little forgiveness.”
After being grilled by his co-stars, he admitted he made a “pretty big mistake” when he was caught breaking Covid’s social distancing rules and kissing his former assistant Gina Coladangelo last year.
