Viewers have been left in stitches after Matt Hancock was told he "runs like an ostrich" during Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. <\/p>\n

The brutal Channel 4 series made its return on Tuesday evening, with former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, 44, controversially joining the show's recruits following his stint in I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! last year. <\/p>\n

Early in the series's first episode, Matt was made to run, and viewers were left in stitches when the instructor shouted: "You're running like a f***ing ostrich."<\/p>\n

Reacting to this, fans of the show quickly took to social media site X, formerly Twitter, with one quipping: "@MattHancock never seen an ostrich run before so thank you for the demo!#saswhodareswins".<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"Telling Matt Hancock he runs like an ostrich is one of the best things I've seen on TV this year [two laughing emojis] #saswhodareswins" added another.<\/p>\n

And a third penned: "Matt Hancock – \u201crunning like a f***ing ostrich\u201d dying [skull emoji][three laughing emojis] #SASWhoDaresWins."<\/p>\n

Ahead of the new episodes of Celebrity SAS airing on TV, Matt's co-star\u00a0Danielle Lloyd, opened up about appearing on the show alongside the MP.<\/p>\n

Speaking to OK!<\/b>, Danielle, 39, said: "Some people definitely had a few questions for him over what went down during the pandemic, but I won\u2019t give too much away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"All I\u2019ll say is that he did handle confrontation quite well. It was such an intense situation, but I think the officers absolutely annihilated him."<\/p>\n

And Matt himself has revealed that he did come close to quitting the gruelling programme after breaking a rib during the jungle phase of SAS selection in Thung Ui, north Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on this, he told press: "I was determined to keep going so I just kept my mouth shut so I wasn\u2019t medically discharged."<\/p>\n

Matt also said the SAS directing staff \u201cpushed my buttons, especially early on."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"They push your buttons to get the rise, and then they show you the consequence of that and so you learn not to,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s part of the training, and actually it\u2019s a really important lesson in life in not rising to somebody when they have a go. I didn\u2019t feel like I struggled with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if that comes over, but I don\u2019t suffer fools gladly. They are definitely not fools and I had respect for what they were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
