Jill Scott takes a savage swipe at Matt Hancock in the I’m A Celeb jungle as viewers rejoice

I'M A Celebrity fans were left in hysterics as Lioness Jill Scott made a cheeky comment to Matt Hancock during tonight's show.

In the episode, Matt was forced to face off against Mike Tindall in a bid to become the camp leader.

Matt was flanked by Loose Women star Charlene White as his deputy whilst Mike was accompanied by Corrie legend Sue Cleaver.

The pairs went head to head in order to win the chance of becoming leader.

Matt and Charlene were crowned winners, as the politician said: "Obviously, it’s a great honour and privilege to be camp leader. I want to thank everybody who voted for me.”

Charlene asked: “Does this win feel sweet, especially after you lost to Boris? Do you feel like you have been vindicated?”

To which Matt replied: “This more than makes up for it.”

As they began to settle on the camp rules and which people would be taking up which roles, footballer Jill could not resist having a little dig at Matt.

As Matt read out what he and Charlene had agreed, Jill quipped: "Just to be clear, are these guidance or rules?"

Fans at home were left in fits of laughter at Jill's sly dig - after Matt insisted to his campmates that he did not break any rules or laws during his time as Health Secretary, he just simply did not follow the 'guidance'.

One fan wrote online: "Jill Scott has just smashed it [laughing-crying face emoii] guidance or law."

Another added alongside a meme of rapper Nicki Minaj laughing extremely hard: "Not Jill bringing up if they are rules and guidance in camp."

A third echoed: "Jill asking Matt if its rules guidance ohhh she went there."

As a fourth penned: "Jill Scott what an absolutely brilliant comment #legend."

Jill's hillairous one-liner came after she opened up about how she faced criticism from children's parents when she was just a child, for being the only girl playing football.

Jill recalled how the kids were happy for her to be playing but it was the parents that took issue with her being there, saying: “It was the parents, some of the parents from opposing teams. If I beat their precious son, they’d shout stuff at us. Like, ‘kick her, hack her down…’ I’d come off the pitch literally in tears.” 

The footballing star revealed she first dabbled in the sport at the age of 5, admitting: “[I was] playing in the schoolyard with the boys. I literally didn’t realise until a couple of weeks in that I was literally the only girl doing it. But I had loads of energy as a kid.

"Even my grandma said on my Christening day, my legs were like this [mimed kicking] the whole time. My grandma reckons she said, ‘She’s going to be a footballer’ and I was about 4-months-old or something [then].”
