I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! viewers couldn’t get over the moment Matt Hancock burst into song shortly after arriving in the jungle.

Former Health Secretary to the Prime Minister Matt Hancock arrived in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! on Wednesday night, where he and Seann Walsh got to hang out together before meeting the rest of the campmates.

As they got to know each other in the jungle, comedian Seann asked Matt about what sort of music he listens to and the MP admitted he’s a huge Ed Sheeran fan.

“Quite a mix really, a lot of mainstream,” he said. “But I’m not going to put a tattoo of Ed Sheeran on my neck am I?”

“You like Ed Sheeran?” Seann asked.

“Love him,” Matt replied. “And I’m from Suffolk as well.”

As Seann tried to think of the Ed song he likes, asking if it was called ‘Dancer in the Dark’, Matt proceeded to serenade Seann.

You between my arms, barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song,” the MP sang.
