Matt Hancock has shed light on his relationship status while discussing his affair during Thursday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The former health secretary sensationally resigned from government last year after footage emerged of him kissing Gina Colangelo, despite being married to his wife Martha Hancock and it being lockdown.

In brand new scenes, comedian Babatúndé Aleshe wasted no time in pressing Mr Hancock on his love life following the scandal, with the politician admitting he’s still with Ms Colangelo despite the consequences of his actions being ‘really tough’.

Mr Hancock shared: ‘I messed up and I fessed up. I resigned and it’s no excuse, but I fell in love, right? That also had a lot of other consequences obviously.’

‘You didn’t just “fall in love” you were grabbing booty bruv!’ Aleshe joked.

After Mr Hancock called for the comedian to ‘give over’, he continued: ‘That’s been hard, I obviously brought it on myself, so yeah… it’s been tough.’

‘Are you still with the lady?’ Aleshe asked, prompting Mr Hancock to confirm his relationship, replying: ‘With Gina? Yeah very much so, yeah, totally.’

‘That’ll be the best thing about being kicked out, seeing her on the bridge,’ he added.

Mr Hancock shares three children with his ex-partner Martha, a daughter, and two sons. It’s understood one of their kids is adopted. The former couple was married in 2006.

In February, Mr Hancock gave his first interview about his high profile affair on the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett.

Host Bartlett asked him about the Covid restrictions in place at the time, saying that people were told to only have sex within ‘established relationships’ and avoid casual sex.

He reminded Mr Hancock that he had talked about how he was following the rules, telling the public that he looking forward to hugging his mum when rules were eased.

Mr Hancock appeared unhappy with the line of questioning, asking him to phrase things more respectfully.

 ‘I haven’t had casual sex with anybody,’ he said. ‘I fell in love with somebody.’
