Matt Hancock and girlfriend Gina pose at Jingle Bell Ball after I’m A Celeb co-star claims he’s desperate for fame
MATT Hancock and his girlfriend Gina Coladangelo took to the Jingle Bell Ball red carpet last night to pose for loved-up snaps.
The former Health Secretary turned I’m A Celebrity star dressed up for the occasion as he headed out on Saturday night in London.
Matt, 44, was joined by his girlfriend Gina, 45, at the star-studded concert performed at London’s 02 Arena last night.
The pair sat side-by-side in amongst the audience, and posed for snaps with fellow celeb pals, including Scarlette Douglas.
Matt – who this week announced he would quit his work as an MP – kept it casual in a white shirt, which he wore on top of a white t-shirt.
He paired his look with blue jeans as he smiled next to Gina, who also dressed down in black leather trousers and a cream wool jumper.

The former aide looked to have opted for a minimal palette of make-up as she let her dark locks tumble down her shoulders.
Matt and Gina cosied up in front of the cameras as they sat down to watch the concert, playing a cup of drink in their chair holders.
It comes after Matt’s I’m A Celebrity camp co-star hit out that the former politician “loves the spotlight” in a scathing interview.
Boy George hit out that the public should not believe anything the MP says about his reasons for entering the jungle this year.
Matt said he wanted to raise awareness of dyslexia through his stint on the ITV reality show earlier this year.
But he quit as MP for West Suffolk last week to pursue “exciting opportunities” – with Boy George saying he wasn’t surprised.
“Matt . . . he’s a Libra, and Librans love the spotlight,” he told The Sun. “They love the good life. They’ll elbow you out of the way for a seat on the jet. They like luxury.
“So don’t believe anything Matt says about why he did I’m A Celebrity this year.
“He did it because he wants to kick up his heels and have a good time.”
Matt — who has also filmed episodes for Celeb SAS: Who Dares Wins — found himself at the centre of a public storm when he revealed he was to take part in I’m A Celeb.
The MP, who was exposed flouting his own advice when The Sun pictured him embracing mistress Gina Coladangelo during lockdown, later told stunned campmates he wanted to show that “politicians are human”.
George believes Matt was more consumed by remaining self-controlled and “keeping his edges soft” for the public than showing his real personality.
