MATT Hancock has not given up his running regime despite being on I'm A Celebrity – and the other stars are struggling to keep up.

The former health secretary joined Jill Scott and Seann Walsh for a run around the ITV campsite, soon beating the footballer and the comedian by literally running rings around them.

While Seann quickly ducked out of the exercise regime, instead opting for a lounge in his festival chair, Jill persevered to complete the circuit.

But rather than stop with the others, Matt ended up doing it four times.

“If he collapses I’m not giving him mouth-to-mouth," Jill told the camp as Matt continued on with his run, despite being told to stop.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph later on, she added: “I do think Matt is very competitive. So once he had in his head he’s running… I’m storing my calories to get through today.”  

Seann was a bit more impressed, and said: "“Jill led the way, Matt was behind, I was right behind Matt. Got to the top and that was enough for me. That was enough for Jill, she’s won a European championship, but Hancock…”

"The man is a beast," he added. "There’s nothing he cannot do.”

However, viewers weren't as impressed, and found themselves laughing at Hancock's unique running style.

"Why does Matt run like that lol," one wrote.

While another simply wrote: "Matt Hancock running..." next to a picture of a turboed-up Sonic The Hedgehog looking panicked.

While a baffled fifth viewer said: "Only on [I'm A Celeb] do we get a lioness, a comedian and an MP running together. You couldn’t make this up"
