I'm A Celeb's Matt Hancock abandons Gina as she flies home alone and he stays to 'cash in on fame'

All eyes have been on Matt Hancock and partner Gina Coladangelo since the MP left the ITV I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here camp. From the embrace on the bridge to the flight home. However, if appears that Hancock's Australian adventure isn't over just yet. While Ms Coladangelo was pictured at the airport, the third place contestant remained in Australia.

As Ms Coladangelo embanked on the flight home alone, the MP for West Suffolk remains Down Under, reportedly to 'cash in on his new found fame'. In an exclusive, the Mirror reported that Mr Hancock's extended stay in Australia comes following his refusal to comment on exactly when he plans to return to work as an MP, and his team's inability to confirm if the politician will be donating all his fee for appearing on I'm A Celebrity to charity.

It is understood that Ms Coladangelo jetted out of the country with celebrity campmates. Discussing Mr Hancock's decision to let her fly home solo, a source told the publication that: "Matt was due to go home on Tuesday afternoon Australian time with lots of the other contestants and Gina. But he left her to fly home alone so he could make more money with a big interview. Gina was lucky, winner Jill [Scott] and Shelly [Unitt] took her under their wing and they stayed with her in the queue."
