I’m A Celeb: Fans slam Matt Hancock for his ‘stupid’ decision

Ever since he stepped foot in the jungle, viewers seem to have been taking their frustration out on the former health secretary. He has been voted to do all the trials so far which he has been surprisingly good at.

Wrong choice, Matt

In a recent task, he was supposed to pick his choice of deputy in the Camp Leader Battle. Fans were left furious to see that the 44-year-old picked Loose Women star, Charlene White. Matt and Charlene have clashed massively on the show, confirmed Birmingham Live.

After his controversial and stupid decision, fans took to social media and wrote:

Why has he asked Charlene?

Did Matt really?

Another two added:

Matt choosing Charlene as deputy is a classic case of ‘treat them mean, keep them keen’

I wish Matt hadn't picked Charlene as his deputy. I can't help but feel like she is not a team player and has her own agenda #ImACeleb

While another chimed in

Anyone else think Charlene might possibly sabotage matt becoming camp leader....

Get into her good books

Some viewers also believe that Matt’s decision to pick the 42-year-old journalist was to get into her good books. Earlier in the week, Charlene gave Matt a hard time by asking him all sorts of questions about how he handled the coronavirus pandemic or his secret affair with his girlfriend Gina Coladangelo.

As such, when he picked Charlene as the deputy leader, fans were convinced it was done to ‘win her over,’ reported The Sun. One said:

Did Matt really pick sourpuss Charlene as a deputy? Hmmm.

Another added:

Matt is just trying to win Charlene over.

While a third agreed:

Why else would Matt pick Charlene?
