Fans of I am A Celebrity were quick to point out how familiar Matt Hancock’s embrace was with Gina Coladangelo as he left the jungle. The competition saw the former health secretary finish third, with Owen Warner (Hollyoaks actor) and Jill Scott (new queen of the jungle), finishing ahead. The MP talked about his controversial decision to participate in ITV’s reality show after he left the Australian jungle. He stated that he was aware of the controversy surrounding his decision to come here. However, he also acknowledged that people in similar situations should not be put in embarrassing situations. We’re all human, and all of us have been there.
He said, “I made it clear to everyone that I was going be completely me as if the cameras weren’t there and that’s exactly what I did. That’s what I am in private! After his exit interview, Matt crossed over the bridge to be greeted by Gina, his girlfriend. The pair shared a close hug, kiss and kiss with viewers as Matt told his partner, “I love you so much.”
The Tory party suspended Matt following the revelation of his controversial signing. Matt quit as health secretary in June after being caught violating coronavirus social ditancing guidelines. He had an affair with Gina in his ministerial office, which was his advisor at the time.
The media was leaked video footage showing him kissing and hugging his aide. MEN reports that he spoke out about the topic while appearing on reality TV. He said that he had fallen in love and that he wanted to forgive his celeb friends.
However, viewers couldn’t help but notice the sneaky snog last year as they watched Matt reunited with Gina. Twitter user: “I literally couldn’t stop laughing when Matt Hancock hugged Gina. I mean, his hand went straight at the same spot.”
Another wrote, “Matt Hancock approached Gina as if they were back in his office during COVID.” Someone else exclaimed: “MATT HANCOCK IS TOUCHING GINA’S A*** AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Another user wrote: “Gina meets Matt at the end the bridge there.” @LelJoyce also wrote: “That hug you shared with Gina looks familiar.”
The final episode featured the three final Bushtucker Trials. This gave viewers a chance to win a starter, main dish, and dessert as well as treats and drinks. Flood Your Face was Hancock’s final trial. This saw him submerge his head in water for five minutes while using a snorkel to breath.
After spending 18 days in the Australian jungle, he was suspended from the Conservative party’s parliamentary party. He has also been criticised by fellow colleagues like Rishi Sunak. The Prime Minister stated that he was disappointed in his colleague’s decision not to show up on the reality TV show from more than 10,000 miles away.
