I’m A Celeb fans slam Matt Hancock for public display of affection with former aide Gina

Matt Hancock has been slammed by fans for public displays of affection with his girlfriend - before leaving her to fly back to the UK alone.

The disgraced MP, 44, embraced Gina Coladangelo on the bridge after leaving I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! at the weekend.

Body language expert Judi James noted the reunion involved some "clumsy clutching" as Mr Hancock's hand "made a play for Gina’s bum yet again".

The last time the couple were seen together was during lockdown when they were caught snogging as the MP warned the nation against physical contact with anyone outside their household.

Viewers were unimpressed with the pair's awkward reunion, with many of them taking to Twitter in disgust.

His team are also yet to to confirm if the politician will be donating ALL his fee for appearing on I'm a Celebrity to charity, as it has been suggested.

Discussing the MP'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."

Gina and Matt lead the celebrations on Sunday as the class of I'm A Celeb 2022 decided to swerve ITV's wrap party.

Looking every inch the loved-up couple, the pair enjoyed a drinks reception at the JW Marriott hotel before boarding a mini bus with the other celebs for a boozy three-hour dinner.
