Anyone else a bit 🤮 about Matt Hancock reuniting with the mistress, after I’m a a Celeb when his wife is back at home looking after his kids that he left when he cheated on her?

I am 🤮about him anyway
His wife is meant to be really lovely
Quite what she was doing marrying that twat badger I don't know.

Do you not think that as everyday passes and he moves further into unintended comedic celebrity status that she’s thinking, thank Christ I’m not married to that any more.

I literarily can’t understand how he is celebrated after what he’s done.

I doubt his wife would have wanted to reunite with him.

DrMarciaFieldstone · 01/12/2022 22:36

Another Matt Hancock thread… groundbreaking.

Byfleet · 01/12/2022 22:37

Totally agree with you OP.

x2boys · 01/12/2022 22:39

Well.no because I don't know him or his wife or his mistress 🙄

Overgrowngrasslady · 01/12/2022 22:40

To be fair she’s not actually his mistress any more. She’s now his partner, him and his wife have separated.

crisisofconfidence · 01/12/2022 22:40

Has anyone else noticed that the quote feature doesn't work in the app. It's very annoying

DollyDoofer · 01/12/2022 22:40

I have no interest in MH. He did great in the trials tho 👍 Can’t fault him for his jungle journey.

Can we have a thread about Boy George, lazy Sooo or one star Chris - just to mix it up a bit?

Theancetocomein · 01/12/2022 22:40

Mistress??

Oh hi Gina 👋

Completely agree with you Op.

I thought that too - I thought about his wife who I read a while ago is suffering badly with Long Covid and has been for a long time. :(

girlmom21 · 01/12/2022 23:01

He said all the way through Gina would be there at the end.

I did think their canoodling on the bridge was completely intentional for maximum publicity though.

People have to get over it at some point. Affairs happen all the time. SIL left her DH (and father of 2) for a new man and got pregnant immediately. That was 10 years ago they now have a 9yo son. If I commented on every single time they hugged or embraced “Oh dear think of Steve” they’d rightfully probably tell me to fuck off.

It is very possible that people can move on and be OK after these things happen.

Yep my sister left her dh about four years ago after 20 odd years together ,neither.of them cheated ( not that I know of ) both have now moved on with new partners .It

InStitchesWithAspergers · 01/12/2022 23:12

i think their extreme PDA on the bridge was probably because they are still in the honeymoon period of their relationship!

Potato28 · 01/12/2022 23:16

Your post doesn't make sense

It was always going to be his partner there to meet him
He ended his marriage
Gina also walked away from her husband and they have been living together ages

Did you expect the wife he is no longer with to be there? That would of been weirder?!

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 01/12/2022 23:18

I always said at least they had the integrity to leave their OHs. How many politicians have a ‘lapse in judgement’, shag an aide and move on while their wife smiles tensely next to him for the rest of their days. Far better that they all just accept it’s a colossal fuck up and try to move on

Byelaws · 01/12/2022 23:20

totally agree op.

Integrity?! They got caught on a bloody security camera in a lift.

kirinm · 01/12/2022 23:23

Should not have read 'in a lift'

LauraIAm · 01/12/2022 23:25

I agree too - I take the point that marriages break up and people are allowed to move on, but given the horrible way they got together, I think it would have been more respectful to their former spouses not to grab each others’ bums on a bridge on prime time TV / cavort in a white bikini etc. There was an article in The Times today about this anti-ashamed approach. IMO they should be ashamed.

Not to mention his children who have to go to school and probably be relentlessly teased by other pupils. Of course people have affairs, but don’t ram it in the face of the children.
