as he attempts to save face by winning eleven meals.

A teaser from tonight’s episode of ITV’s hit reality show in the Australian jungle finds the one-time Tory frontbencher floundering in a large tank of water while endeavouring to salvage stars from a variety of submerged, critter-filled cages. 

Wearing a safety hat and goggles, he appears to struggle after bursting to the surface for air, before swimming back into the depths of the murky tank. 

And in a devious twist, the West Suffolk MP is given an increasingly limited opportunity to breathe as the tank slowly sinks into the water – prompting an inevitable joke from the show’s Geordie hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

Up to his neck in it: Hancock appears to be struggling for breath during his latest trial for camp 

Awkward: The former Health Secretary left campmates stunned on Tuesday evening after arriving alongside comedian Seann Walsh

‘Your air hole gets smaller!’ Mr Donnelly warned the unpopular MP as he filled his lungs after bobbing to the surface. 

‘What did you call him?’ quipped Mr McPartlin, prompting his co-host to repeat: ‘Air hole.’ 

The former Health Secretary left campmates stunned on Tuesday evening after arriving alongside comedian , unaware of the controversy his decision to leave his constituents and participate in a game show has inevitably created. 

But after falling at the first hurdle by winning a meagre six meals for camp during his first Bushtucker Trial, regarding his surprise appearance in the Australian jungle. 

Already nervous, he appeared to be caught off guard when bluntly asked by TV presenter Scarlette Douglas exactly why he was on the other side of the world. 

Struggling to articulate himself, he said: ‘Politicians are known, and me in particular, for like being very…in a very sort of strict way of being. Which is just not actually how we are. I’m more human than that.’ 

However his reasoning was given short shrift from retired rugby player Mike Tindall, the husband of Princess Zara Phillips. 

‘When he opened his mouth when he was asked why did he come here, all I heard was bulls***, bulls***, bulls***,’ he told campmates later that day. 

Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver appeared to agree, admitting the politician ‘stuck out like a sore thumb.’ 

Bulls**t: Mike Tindall echoed the thoughts of many after Hancock outlined his reasons for appearing on the current series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Tough start: After falling at the first hurdle by winning a meagre six meals for camp during his first Bushtucker Trial, Hancock faced a grilling from bemused campmates

Divisive: The on-time Tory whip’s decision to enter the jungle has divided campmates
