Matt Hancock dives face-first into mud after crawling like a crab during a brutal SAS: Who Dares Wins challenge.<\/p>\n
The former health secretary, 44, is back on our screens and continuing his reality TV stint after coming in\u00a0third place on I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out of Here!<\/p>\n
Starring alongside the likes of Gareth Gates, Melinda Messenger and James Argent, Hancock\u2019s stint on the programme has already been ripped apart by Good Morning Britain\u2019s Susanna Reid\u00a0and even\u00a0the Channel 4 voiceover, as we\u2019ve seen him punched by Jermaine Pennant and admit to \u2018weak leadership\u2019 during the pandemic.<\/p>\n
In Sunday\u2019s episode of the reality programme, viewers will be treated to Hancock face-planting straight into mud, during a vicious beasting.<\/p>\n
The punishment sees all the recruits being asked to drop to their knees and crawl through the mud, all while carrying the heavy weights on their backs.<\/p>\n
As Hancock works his weigh through the mud on all fours, DS Mark \u2018Billy\u2019 Billingham yells at him: \u2018F**king pathetic you\u2019re like a crab!\u2019<\/p>\n
He\u2019s then sent back to the start and ordered to do it all over again, but can\u2019t quite manage without tripping over straight to the ground.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\u2018Get up you f**king buffoon,\u2019 the DS yell at him.<\/p>\n
\u2018F**king clown.\u2019<\/p>\n
Hancock tries to wipe the mud covering his face, as he\u2019s screamed at to keep his head up while trying to keep the weight of the pack on.<\/p>\n
Hancock meanwhile in an interview: \u2018The last few years I\u2019ve been mentally tested, I\u2019ve been emotionally tested, but the physical test of this course is about as big as it gets.<\/p>\n
\u2018I hope that I rise to the challenge, it\u2019s going to be tough.\u2019<\/p>\n
In another clip, the politician is seen explaining his career to Towie star James Argent.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When asked what Boris Johnson would think of him taking part on the programme, Hancock chuckles: \u2018No idea, I haven\u2019t talked to him. I have no idea what he\u2019ll think.\u2019<\/p>\n
This comes after Hancock confessed he regrets his \u2018weak leadership\u2019 at the end of the pandemic during a savage SAS interrogation.<\/p>\n
The disgraced ex-MP resigned from his position in Johnson\u2019s cabinet after\u00a0breaching Covid social distancing rules<\/strong>\u00a0by\u00a0kissing a colleague<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0government\u00a0offices.<\/p>\n To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a webbrowser thatsupports HTML5video<\/p>\n He addressed his affair with now-girlfriend Gina Coladangelo during\u00a0the new series\u2019 opening episode, after he was pulled into the first chat with the course instructors.<\/p>\n As he first reflected on his biggest challenge in government, Hancock said: \u2018I was managing a very difficult scenario in a professional sense and thought I\u2019d done a good job.<\/p>\n \u2018And then I fell in love with someone who I\u2019d known since university and worked closely with in government.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, the DS were not letting him get off that lightly, with Chris Oliver suggesting that his behaviour made it seem like he thought he was \u2018above\u2019 the rules he imposed on the rest of the country in lockdown.<\/p>\n \u2018The truth is I was very careful to not break the law,\u2019 Hancock responded, insisting that the guidance he went against was not \u2018legally binding\u2019.<\/p>\n Although he appeared to\u00a0have a hint of tears glimmering in his eyes, the MP held his resolve and even dared to try and interrupt his interrogation twice to defend himself \u2013 but was quickly shut down.<\/p>\n When he was then accused of showing \u2018weak leadership\u2019 in the pandemic, he agreed, adding: \u2018I regret the lack of leadership at the end.\u2019<\/p>\n Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins continues at 9pm on Channel 4 on Sunday.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n
