Matt Hancock 's Australian adventure isn't over just yet as the absentee MP remains Down Under without his girlfriend.
The MP for West Suffolk left girlfriend Gina Coladangelo to fly homo solo as he remains in Australia to cash in on his new found fame following his stint on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
Gina, who was there to awkwardly embrace Mr Hancock on the jungle bridge on Sunday night, jetted out of the country with some of Mr Hancock's celebrity campmates, while the former health secretary leaves his constituents awaiting his return a little while longer.
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, like it has been implied.
Discussing Mr Hancock's decision to let Gina fly home solo, a source told the Mirror: "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 and Shelly took her under their wing and they stayed with her in the queue."
Mr Hancock, 44, came third on I'm A Celebrity on Sunday night and couldn't keep his hands off girlfriend Gina once he returned to the JW Marriott Hotel on the Gold Coast.
The pair then wore white and enjoyed a drinks reception at the hotel before joining the other contestants for a three hour dinner party at La Luna restaurant at the Marina Mirage.
Asked when he would be returning to work, Mr Hancock declined to answer and simply smiled and held Gina's hand as they headed back to their room.
Writing about his decision to do the show days before he entered the Jungle, Mr Hancock claimed: "As soon as my time in camp is up, I will return to Suffolk to hold a surgery where I will catch up with my constituents and discuss matters of concern."
However he left camp around 8am on Monday morning in Australia and will not fly home until late on Tuesday. He has been out of contact by phone or email for three weeks but still felt he had time to devote Monday to relaxing.
Mr Hancock's stint in the jungle was been slammed by millions across the country due to multiple reasons, including; the fact he is still a sitting MP (receiving £84,144 annually), his behaviour in government, his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and questions surrounding contracts issued to private companies during Mr Hancock's time as Health Secretary.
Before leaving his constituents in West Suffolk to appear on the ITV reality TV show, Mr Hancock explained his reasons for heading Down Under - claiming he would be "making a donation" to charity of the back of his jungle stint.
On Sunday night, Mr Hancock's office were unable to confirm if ALL of the politician's fee for appearing on I'm a Celebrity will be donated to charity.
Representatives for Mr Hancock confirmed this evening that "the donations will be worked out on Matt's return" and explained how they are in contact with both the British Dyslexia Association and St Nicholas Hospice who they claim are "very happy with that arrangement".
But when asked multiple times if Mr Hancock plans to donate the entirety of his I'm A Celebrity appearance fee, rumoured to be around £400,000, the Mirror received no confirmation regarding exactly how much the MP intends to donate to charity and good causes.
