I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! bosses had Matt Hancock completing his final Bushtucker trial to a remix of Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill (Deal With God) leaving fans furious.
Before Jill Scott was crowned queen of the jungle, the finalists completed their last gruesome tasks of the series.
Former health secretary Hancock was challenged to take on Flood Your Face, which involved him keeping his head in a tank while it was slowly filled with water, eels, yabbies, spiders, and other critters.
As he desperately tried to win stars so that he could enjoy a lavish three-course meal, a revised version of the beloved 80s ballad played out, and it didn’t go unnoticed by viewers.
Stranger Things fans were especially quick to pick up on the song choice given that the 1985 hit exploded in popularity earlier this year after being featured in a critical moment of season four when Sadie Sink’s character Max faces Vecna in a sinister trance.

But many were unimpressed by the music and blasted the decision on social media.
‘Ew don’t play Running Up That Hill anywhere near Matt Hancock please. He doesn’t deserve it in any way, shape, or form,’ scatted one.
‘Dunno if Kate Bush would have been thrilled to hear running up that hill during a clip of Matt Hancock doing a Bushtucker trial,’ another remarked.
