Matt Hancock’s time on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has both annoyed and amused countless Brits ever since it first aired, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a single viewer who didn’t enjoy seeing the disgraced MP being called a “weasel-faced c***” by one of their interrogators.
The former Health Secretary and adviser to ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson during the nightmare year that was 2020 (remember that) already caused a stir by taking part in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! — for which received a healthy amount of grilling — but that was just the start of his reality career.
After the news broke that his appearance on the latest season of Channel 4’s hit military boot camp show was actually filmed before his I’m a Celeb series late last year, millions were collectively rubbing their hands waiting to see what kind of physical and mental toll he was put through.
That being said, even with the clips that had already come out, there can’t have been many who were expecting this. Without further ado, please enjoy a shirtless Matt Hancock being called a “weasel-faced c***” and a barrage of other expletive insults on the celebrity version of SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Matt Hancock being called a ‘weasel-faced c***’ has to be up there with one of the best TV moments of the past decade.
Tell us how you really feel — to be fair, we have a feeling there are more than a few who agree with you…

The woman calling him virtually every name under the sun is a series regular simply known as Debs: an interrogator who has previously appeared on the show’s celebrity spin-off show and is almost certain to pop up even more frequently after this.
In fact, she’s been hailed as somewhat of a hero online, with people remarking everything from, “Thank you, madam, you speak for a nation” and “couldn’t have put it better myself, to comments like: “Give Debs a damehood, what an absolute queen”.

Unsurprisingly, the reaction to the latest episode which aired on Sunday night, 29 October has been one of both shock and unapologetic amusement all over social media, as it’s safe to say Hancock is still a deeply disliked figure across the UK for his time in office and multiple scandals during lockdown.
It wasn’t the first time the Tory MP was interrogated by members of the cast and ex-army members, having also been grilled over his handling of the pandemic. However, Deb’s extensive abuse didn’t stop there, not even close — the so-called ‘Liz Truss lookalike’ dished out plenty of other memorable lines.
For example: “You’re a man that likes to put it about a bit [referencing his affair with Gina Coladangelo]”, “You’re not a good-looking man, are you? Pubes on your chest, moobs…”; “You sarcastic f***er… Mr f***ing know-it-all” and “Why do you just keep raising your eyebrows at me, k***head?”, to quote just a few.

Netflix drops the first trailer for upcoming Peaky Blinders film
Danny Jones
It looks like Christmas has come early for TV drama fans and cinephiles, because Netflix has officially dropped the first trailer for the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie.
Popcorn at the ready – even the teaser alone has got us fired up.
ln just 70 seconds, they’ve managed to pull us right back in, and we cannot wait to see Cillian Murphy back in full-on Tommy Shelby mode.
Not exaggerating when we say we have LITERAL chills.
As you can see, they certainly haven’t scrimped on the budget with the first-ever feature-length Peaky Blinders film, neither in terms of production value nor the cast.
Then again, having already hosted the likes of Sam Neill, Tom Hardy, Adrien Brody, Anya Taylor-Joy and others in the series itself, as well as going on to become one of the most successful BBC shows of all time, they were never going to.
We’re sure you spotted plenty of them for yourselves, but the debut trailer for The Immortal Man gives us not only our first glimpses of now Oscar-winning Murphy, 49, back in the saddle (both figuratively and literally) but also fellow blockbuster Irish actor, Barry Keoghan.
Other big names set to appear in the movie – set for a limited release in theatres before launching exclusively on Netflix – include Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Roth. It still remains unclear, however, as to how any of these characters will knit into the new season.
It’s also worth noting that the trailer shares a little snippet of the historical context, this continuation of the Shelby story is playing into, as we see what looks to be Nazi figures meeting on screen.
Creator Steven Knight has already confirmed that the plot will fast-forward some years to meet back up with Tommy at the outset of WWII and his ancestral home of Birmingham during the Blitz.
Having already confirmed 6 March as the theatrical release date ahead of it going live on Netflix a fortnight later, the anticipation was seriously starting to ramp; this latest look has only added to the tinderbox of excitement.
What do you make of the Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man trailer, and will you be watching it?
