The chemistry between Matt Hancock, 44, and girlfriend Gina Coladangelo, 45, was evident for all to see when he reunited with her after his sensational exit from the Australian jungle on Sunday.
Matt, who finished third in the competition after losing out to the ultimate winner, Lioness Jill Scott, headed to the luxurious JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort and Spa hotel, where he has spent the past day.
Boasting pool facilities and idyllic ocean view rooms, the hotel – which typically charges from £256 per night – is a far cry from the brutal back to basics conditions he endured in the jungle, and he looked elated to be back by Gina’s side.
Clad in bright red shorts and a navy blue tee, he caressed her waist and shoulders, planting a kiss on her forehead and at one point burying his head in her shoulder as he recovered after his gruelling Bushtucker Trials.
He looked like a lovestruck teenager with his former aide, following an embarrassing episode last year when he was caught on camera kissing her, which spelt the end of his 15 year marriage to wife Martha.
Matt has also come under fire for abandoning his MP role in the UK to accept a reported £400,000 fee for appearing in the jungle, while some members of the public are still fuming after he broke his own social distancing rules during the Covid pandemic.
A spokesperson for Matt Hancock has since said: “Matt will be in West Suffolk this week and the second reading of his Dyslexia Screening and Teacher Training Bill will be heard in Parliament on Friday.”
