I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returned to Australia this year and 12 campmates were whisked away from their lives of luxury to begin their jungle journey. Leaving their plush pads and comforts far behind, the campers spent up to three weeks taking on the harsh surroundings of the Australian bush.
Former health secretary Matt, who had the Tory whip suspended after it emerged he was entering the famous camp on the ITV reality show, arrived as a controversial latecomer and made it all the way to the final. The 44-year-old West Suffolk MP came in third place after Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner and former England footballer Jill Scott.
While he was running the gauntlet in the jungle, his girlfriend Gina Coladangelo flew out to Austalia and was waiting to greet him. In scenes to be screened on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! The Coming Out Show Gina says: “I think it’s fair to say that Matt underestimated the scale of the reaction to him coming into the jungle."
