Dancing On Ice returned to ITV on Sunday evening and there were some well-kent faces in the audience, including Matt Hancock.
The former UK Health Secretary and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant was joined in the crowd by his girlfriend, Gina Coladangelo.
Host Holly Willoughby was quick to point him out to those watching at home, saying: "We've got some well-known faces in our audience tonight. Matt Hancock is here. Hello to you."
Hancock replied: "It's great to be here." Holly went on to say: "Now listen, we are celebrating dance tonight, so I'm just thinking, picturing the scene, you're at a party, there's the dancefloor there... what song would have to be played to get you going?"
Hancock come back with: "Well I dance to almost anything. It's more enthusiasm than talent thought. But a bit of Queen. Bit of 'Don't Stop Me Now' That might get me going."
He then cracked a joke comparing eating gruesome food in the Australian Jungle to starring in the ice skating show. He said: "Eating cockroaches is nothing compared to how difficult this is."
Hancock, who finished third on the reality show, announced in December last year that he will stand down as an MP at the next general election. He took to social media to reveal that he will not be standing at the next national vote, which is due to take place in 2024.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief The Berlin Film Festival is once again finding house room for Hong Kong’s most commercially successful enfant terrible, Soi Cheang, aka Cheang Pou Soi, who previously brought film noir “Limbo” to the Berlinale. This time he attends with “Mad Fate,” a film about destiny that may be Cheang’s most bloodthirsty, but which the director says is intended to be inspirational. It plays in the Berlinale Special section. Born in Macau, Cheang developed his career at the feet of Ringo Lam, Andrew Lau, Joe Ma, Wilson Yip and Johnnie To, the great stylists of the crime and action film genre across the Pearl River estuary in Hong Kong. To, who is on the Berlin jury this year, is also a producer on “Mad Fate” through his Makerville label.

And I think when you see ‘Heeramandi,’ you’re gonna see why it has been such the honor of a lifetime to work with Sanjay and to be able to bring this to screen.
