Grinning Matt Hancock has refused to say when he will be back at work – as he spent his first day outside of the jungle partying instead of catching up on his MP duties.
The disgraced former Health secretary, 44, came third on I’m A Celebrity and couldn’t keep his hands off girlfriend Gina Coladangelo once he returned to the JW Marriott Hotel on the gold coast.
The loved-up pair then wore white and enjoyed a drinks reception at the hotel before joining the other contestants for a three hour dinner party at La Luna restaurant at the Marina Mirage.

Asked on his return when he would be returning to work, Hancock declined to answer and simply smiled and held Gina’s hand as they headed back to their room.
The two other finalists Jill Scott and Owen Warner both had appeared on ITV show Good Morning Britain and contestants normally are contracted to do this on the day they leave.

But Hancock snubbed this option and instead is thought to have brokered a big money deal for his first interview.
Writing about his decision to do the show days before he entered the Jungle, Hancock wrote: “As soon as my time in camp is up, I will return to Suffolk to hold a surgery where I will catch up with my constituents and discuss matters of concern.”
However he left camp around 8am on Monday morning in Australia and will not fly home until late on Tuesday.

He has been out of contact by phone or email for three weeks but still felt he had time to devote Monday to relaxing.
A spokesperson for Matt Hancock said: “Matt will be in West Suffolk this week and the second reading of his Dyslexia Screening and Teacher Training Bill will be heard in Parliament on Friday.”
As the Mirror reported, he will present a bill on dyslexia to the House of Commons on Friday, his representative said – but he might have to do so as an independent after being stripped of the Tory whip after it emerged he would be taking part in the primetime series.
It is unclear whether he will be readmitted.
Voting results were released for I’m A Celebrity yesterday and showed Hancock never stood a chance of winning.
In total, when there were three left, Jill managed to secure 47.29% of the vote whilst Owen placed second after receiving 30.99% of the vote.
He bagged about a third of all votes but Hancock was way behind with just a fifth of the vote at 21.72% of all votes.
