Matt Hancock continues to surprise and even amuse viewers of reality TV as he drops another bombshell on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The unexpected revelation
The former Health Secretary is among the well-known figures who have signed up for the Channel 4 show.
Matt, 44, and former Towie star James Argent, 35, were on night duty together when the conservative politician made a surprising confession.
An unlikely conversation
The conversation began when Arg attempted to strike up a discussion about upbringing, asking Matt about his own childhood.
Matt proved he knew his stuff by correctly guessing that Arg grew up in Essex, and he went even further by admitting that he had watched the long-running reality series.
When James asked if he had seen the show, Matt repeatedly exclaimed: "Of course I have", leaving James in shock and fans in hysterics.
Fans react on social media
Fans took to Twitter to express their amusement at the revelation.
One fan said: "Haha, Matt Hancock watches #TOWIE! 🌝😂."
Another exclaimed: "My husband and I practically fell on the floor when Matt Hancock admitted he watches Towie."
A third jokingly remarked: "Matt Hancock said he watches Towie, and here I am in absolute hysterics."
An awkward encounter?
One viewer even compared the exchange between James and Matt to an awkward meeting on the popular dating show First Dates.
James quizzes Matt on politics
Aside from their discussion on reality TV, James also asked Matt about his former colleagues and what they would think of his participation in the grueling series.
In response, Matt admitted: "I have no idea what he would think."
