Screentime:\u00a0It makes for his second stint at reality TV after making it to the I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! final in 2022<\/p>\n
Ahead of the final, the MP opened up about the challenges of filming the show last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said: ‘It was really one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done and a very unpleasant experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘The only way through it was to have the same attitude that I had during the whole course, to just keep sticking around for a few more minutes all the way through, even when the interrogators were trying to rile me.’<\/p>\n
In the series finale, titled INTERROGATION, the celebrity recruits have been captured by an elite Hunter Force, deep in the Vietnamese jungle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They have been stripped of their clothes and belongings and placed in detention in preparation for 14 hours of interrogation techniques – the most gruelling challenge yet.<\/p>\n
Matt’s co-star former Miss GB Danielle agreed about the intensity of the experience, telling: ‘That was probably one of the hardest things I\u2019ve ever done. Forget about the heights and stuff like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘This was intense. The noises just literally f*** your head up. I’d not eaten, I was wet, it was cold. It was just so hard to try and stay awake and try and stay focused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘You’re exhausted physically and you’re exhausted mentally as well. There were so many times throughout that I nearly quit.’<\/p>\n

Gruelling: The quasi-military style training show filmed in Vietnam is a true test of endurance<\/p>\n
In recent episodes Matt left Celebrity SAS viewers in hysterics as he asked how much paracetamol he was allowed to take – despite his role as Health Secretary in the global pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was forced to ask TOWIE star Amber Turner what the maximum dose was, responding with ‘eight’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Matt was still confused, asking: ‘Is that the recommended or maximum?’<\/p>\n
Viewers were quick to pick up on the irony, with one writing:\u00a0‘Oh wow did I just hear right ex health secretary #MattHancock doesn\u2019t know how many painkillers he can take in a day!!’\u00a0<\/p>\n
In another scene on Sunday night’s episode, Matt was interviewed by a Liz Truss lookalike, who blasted his ‘moobs’ and ‘chest pubes’ and said he’s ‘not a good looking guy’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the clip he is forced to stand in just his underwear as the interrogator named Debs shouts: ‘You’re a f**king man, aren’t you. You’re a man that likes to put it about a bit, stay on your feet.<\/p>\n
‘I’ll tell you something that’s really fascinating me. Really fascinating me, because with all due respect, you’re not a good looking guy, are you?’<\/p>\n

Shirtless:\u00a0Shirtless Matt Hancock was interrogated by a Liz Truss lookalike on Celebrity SAS\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once again, viewers were left gobsmacked at the surprising appearance of the former parliamentary minister.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking of his time on the show, Matt previously said: ‘Being on SAS was like nothing else I’ve ever experienced. It’s one of the toughest physical and mental things I’ve ever done.<\/p>\n
‘It really opens your eyes and makes you look into yourself. After coming through the most challenging period as Health Secretary during the pandemic, I wanted to push my limits. It’s safe to say the course tested my resilience!’<\/p>\n
