And so Mike tried to sabotage Matt’s secret plan by turning his clothes over to hide his number as and when he had a chance.
Matt was forced to quit his role Health Secretary last year after being caught canoodling with girlfriend Gina Coladangelo during the height of Covid lockdown.
Now, it has been speculated that the couple are set to launch a media career on the back of Matt’s stint on the ITV show.
On entering the jungle, Matt had been the subject of severe backlash for his hypocritcal behavior as a Tory minister.
However, it seems it’s not just viewers who were happy to take a swipe at Matt,
During last night’s show, Matt was even mocked by presenters Ant and Dec for his cocky attitude while attempting to complete his part in the Cyclone trial.
At one point Ant, who saw Matt drop a star while being ambushed with a water hose, said: “That’s what you get for being cocky.”
