Matt Hancock finally entered the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! jungle on Wednesday evening where he took part in his first bushtucker trial alongside fellow new campmate Seann Walsh.
As fans of the show will know, the former health secretary is a late addition to the camp, and arrived on Wednesday evening to 'Mole Headquarters', where - along with Walsh - he was tasked with taking part in a challenge before arriving in the main camp to meet the rest of the campmates.

But viewers were pretty distracted by the politician's laugh, with many triggered by it on social media.
One person wrote on Twitter: "That @MattHancock laugh is already grating on me, PLEASE STOP IT."
While another said: "Sounds like matt hancock has just learnt how to laugh and can’t stop."
And a third added: "Matt Hancock's laugh is like nails on a blackboard."

Meanwhile a fourth commented: "I might not ever sleep again after hearing Matt Hancock's laugh."
"There is something rather unnerving about Matt Hancock laugh," said a fifth.
Hancock entered the jungle during this evening's episode after spending time in isolation beforehand.

But, according to the Mirror, Hancock - who is MP for West Suffolk - had been given access to a computer to respond to urgent work emails.
Apparently use of the laptop was monitored and he was not allowed to contact loved ones at home.
It comes as Hancock himself said that he would be able to respond to any 'urgent constituency matters' while in the jungle.
"As an MP, my first priority is to my constituents. I have agreed with the show's producers that I can be reached at any point on any urgent constituency matters," he wrote in The Sun.

However, an ITV spokesperson told The Mirror that contact with the outside world was not allowed unless there was an emergency.
"You are correct to say that celebs cannot speak to the outside world at all unless there are exceptional circumstances ie. an emergency," they said.
The former health secretary has been largely criticised for accepting the offer to take part in the show.

In fact, Hancock has had the Tory whip suspended, with the Conservative chief whip, Simon Hart, saying he believed Hancock's involvement in the show was "serious enough to warrant suspension of the whip with immediate effect".
