I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here! is back – and viewers are wondering where Matt Hancock is. The popular ITV reality series is back for its 20th series, which takes place in the Australian jungle for the first time since 2019. Read The Independent’s review of the debut episode here. I’m a Celeb has been forced to relocate to Wales due to the pandemic, but this year’s celebrity cast is back where the show really belongs: Down Under. During the first episode on Sunday (November 6), Mike Tindall and Jill Scott wowed audiences with their super chill reactions to their first challenges. However, first runner-up Olivia Attwood unfortunately withdrew from the competition due to a medical issue less than 24 hours after entering the jungle. The second episode, which aired on Monday (November 7), saw the show’s first Bushtucker trial, which was played by Chris Moyles, Scarlette Douglas, Boy George and Attwood before her departure. Controversy rocked the show in October after it was announced disgraced politician Matt Hancock would be joining the series in a few days alongside comedian Seann Walsh.
