Matt Hancock consulted girlfriend ‘at length’ before signing up for I’m a Celebrity & was warned it would be ‘high risk’

thesun.co.uk:

DISGRACED MP Matt Hancock reportedly asked his PR expert girlfriend for advice before deciding to appear on the hit show. Friends say ex-Health Secretary Hancock, 44, was initially torn about entering the jungle having turned the offer down twice before.

But according to reports in The Times, he sought advice from a small group, including tapping into Gina's specialist public relations knowledge, before agreeing to appear on the ITV show.

A friend of the couple said: “He consulted her at length. They are very much a team.” They were also a part of the same team at the Department of Health where The Sun exposed CCTV of them kissing under strict social distancing rules.

Hancock was married at the time with three children but has since taken issue with the term 'affair'.
