Matt Hancock's new role as camp leader on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here could lead to 'new alliances forming', according to a body language expert.

Darren believes Chris Moyles could lead a rebellion against Hancock's appointment as he plants seeds in the heads of his fellow campmates.
He added: "When it was announced that Matt was leader everyone looked astonished and surprised. However, we also had some interesting gestures of non-verbal communication
