IT was a long three weeks in the jungle for Matt Hancock – and he seemed overjoyed to be reunited with girlfriend Gina Coladangelo.
The former Health Secretary, 44, finished third in last night's I'm A Celebrity final, pipped to the post by Owen Warner and Jill Scott.
He was met by mum-of-three Gina, 45, on the infamous bridge and the couple shared a passionate embrace.
The clinch was reminiscent of the infamous snog-gate CCTV footage revealed by The Sun last year, which exposed their affair and broke Covid guidelines.
Body language expert Judi James says their hug and kiss revealed tell-tale clues about their relationship – in which Gina "appears to call the non-verbal shots”.
While Matt made it clear he was keen to show viewers the “real me” on I'm A Celeb, Judi says he “tended to watch others to copy and mimic their behaviour”.

And his reserved nature was on display during his reunion with businesswoman Gina, according to Judi.
“He seems to get his lead from Gina here, standing open-mouthed as she rushes up to throw her arms around his neck," she observes.
“In their infamous snog-gate video, we also saw Gina with her arms and hands up around his neck in a gesture of more adult control and she was the one that stepped away first.”
Judi reckons Matt “still looks socially awkward with Gina” even when he listens to her talk – despite them presenting a “can’t keep their hands off one another” image.
