Matt Hancock’s lover Gina Coladangelo soaks up Australian sunshine on the beach while supporting I’m a Celeb star

MATT Hancock's girlfriend Gina Coladangelo showed off her beach body today as she soaked up the Australian sunshine.

The mum-of-three went out with fellow I'm A Celeb Wag Shelly Unitt, with the pair spotted rubbing suntan lotion on each other's backs.

They were protecting themselves from the 27C heat in Surfers Paradise, on the Gold Coast, after their partners made it to the final four in the jungle.

- whose lockdown-flouting affair with Hancock was exposed by The Sun last year - looked stunning in a white bikini and sunglasses, with her hair in a bun.

Shelly, 37 - engaged to Lionesses legend Jill Scott, 35 - wore a green swimsuit, and the pair were joined by Owen Warner's mum Polly.

An onlooker said: "Gina looked gorgeous and she and Shelly have obviously become good pals since the families arrived last week.

"They were all smiles and all of the women were chatting away like they've known each other for ages.

"Gina looked really relaxed and was enjoying the beautiful sunshine, and is definitely not missing the terrible English weather."

The Sun on Sunday told last week how Gina had not been mingling with other relatives after arriving Down Under - but she now gets on with them like a house on fire.

Gina was married to Oliver Tress, who founded fashion firm Oliver Bonas, when she was caught on CCTV in a clinch with then Health Secretary Hancock in his office.

She was his aide at the time, and The Sun's revelations forced Hancock to quit his role.

The pair then left their partners to be together.

Gina flew out to Australia to support dad-of-three Hancock, 44, who had the Tory whip removed after accepting the £400,000 deal from ITV.

Businesswoman Gina penned a letter to her lover which was read during the show.

It said: "Dear Matt, wow. Watching you in the jungle has been quite the experience.

"We are particularly impressed that you conquered your fear of snakes.

"We are less sure about the dancing, although we saw that you almost got the electric slide thanks to Scarlette."

Gina has had to witness her man take on grim Bushtucker Trials - including one in which he had to eat camel's penis, sheep's vagina and cow's anus.

It comes after I'm A Celeb was hit with thousands of complaints surrounding the show’s most controversial campmate ever – Matt Hancock.

Broadcasting regulator Ofcom has so far received 3, 287 complaints relating to his inclusion in the jungle and the treatment of the former health secretary.

Meanwhile, The Sun reported how Gina quit her job after less than six weeks - the day after it was revealed the MP was to take part in I’m A Celeb.
