Matt Hancock has decided to stay in Australia for a bit longer after finishing third on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Matt Hancock has reportedly decided to remain in Australia a little longer than some of his co-stars following his time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The former Tory MP even appeared to leave his girlfriend Gina Coladangelo to fly home solo as he extended his stay down under to cash in on his TV appearance.

In photos obtained by this tabloid, Gina can be seen in the airport in Australia accompanied by Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott and her fiancée Shelly Unitt as they flew back to the UK together, without the former health secretary by his girlfriend’s side.

A source also told the publication: “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."

This comes after Matt finished in third place on Sunday night, just behind runner-up and Hollyoaks star Owen Warner while former Lioness footballer Jill Scott was crowned Queen of the Jungle.

Matt could be seen embracing Gina on the bridge following his exit as they reunited.

Whilst on the show, Matt opened up about his infamous affair after his relationship with Gina was leaked by the tabloids in 2021 during his marriage to his then-wife of 15 years, Martha.
