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?

Starfro - don’t you get the day off? Have some self-respect and lay off the PR.

MH's office works weekends, evidently.

LadyWithLapdog · 03/12/2022 16:41

Ha, yes, the lovely Matt. As I said upthread, I make the connection whenever I see an Oliver Bonas shop. I should come off this thread and not have his smirking face in my mind at weekends too.

Enfys1982 · 03/12/2022 16:42

@Ladyintangerine he was named on the leaked Tory sleaze list from back in 2017 which said he’d had an affair with a ‘member of his private office’. Gina wasn’t working for him then so it must have been someone else. Allegedly he also had a fling with a well known female MP who I’m not going to name for obvious reasons. He’s a Shagger basically and he will absolutely do to Gina what he did to his wife. That sort never change!

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. :(

Show quote history

Ah that would be why he "fell in love" with Gina then. He must have found it arduous and exhausting looking after the mother of his children when she was ill.
Fucking twat.

Brokenlightbulb · 03/12/2022 16:52

If he hadn’t been caught on cctv snogging the face off her and groping her arse his poor unsuspecting wife might have been on the bridge to meet him, oblivious to the fact that he’s been shagging his assistant all this time.

The nasty little shitebag only scurried home to tell his wife and children he was leaving them once he’d been found out and it was about to be front page news.

Ladyintangerine · 03/12/2022 17:22

@Enfys1982 That's interesting......

@Brokenlightbulb The nasty little shitebag only scurried home to tell his wife and children he was leaving them once he’d been found out and it was about to be front page news.

Well, that's par for the course with most male cheaters. They rarely leave their wives/partners off their own bat. As long as they can get away with 'having their cake and eating it' they will continue to do so. It's only when mousey wifey finds out, turns into a roaring lioness and kicks their sorry ar$e out, that they have to look for a soft landing.

Enfys1982 · 03/12/2022 18:00

It is interesting isn’t it? Gina probably think’s he’ll never do it to her. That being said she wasn’t interested in him before he was someone important so she’s obviously about as deep as a puddle herself. I’m reminded of Petronella Wyatt’s tweet about her when that CCTV first leaked.

Ladyintangerine · 03/12/2022 19:11

@Enfys1982 I’m reminded of Petronella Wyatt’s tweet about her when that CCTV first leaked.

I don't recall that but I believe Gina was married before?

Enfys1982 · 03/12/2022 19:33

She’s been married twice yes. She left her first husband for her second husband. Petronella Wyatt said she’d seen her at an event coming onto a successful married business man who was horrified and brushed her off. I don’t want to say she’s slept her way to the top but she’s definitely used men to get on. She’s utterly vile IMO her kids are always palmed off on the nanny. MH will cheat on her and she will get the biggest, fattest dose of karma imaginable.

Thinkbiglittleone · 03/12/2022 20:39

I couldn't agree more OP.
I instantly thought of his kids and his wife.
How they must feel after the shame of seeing their dad/husband with his grubby little hands groping and grabbing at that other woman's arse, then to see them again on the bridge, it's just a disgrace and shows he is a narcissist.
He has put his own publicity above the respect of his children a feelings.
I will say the same as I would about any weassly cheating man, he is a disgrace and should not be held up as a success celeb story.
He failed at his job, he failed to be a good husband and he failed to be a good father.

Thinkbiglittleone · 03/12/2022 20:41

This ten fold, snivelling little cowardice rat.

@Newgirls

Agree.
Instead of working to serve the needs of his constituents at this time of rising prices and cold homes, he's off rehabbing the reputation he himself trashed.

His whole life, including his political career, is The Matt Hancock Show. He's no public servant.

Completely self serving.
The way he speaks is so hollow, zero emotion and he's weighing up whether you are buying his twaddle as it comes out of his mouth.
Now we are supposed to feel sorry for HiM, so dreadful for HIM to face being exposed as a cheat .

He traumatised his 8 year old the day the photos were coming out. He woke him up to tell him he was leaving.

Roselilly36 · 04/12/2022 06:16

He’s an absolute arsehole.

heartbroken22 · 04/12/2022 06:18

Also just as worse as Charles and Camilla. Tampon gate.

sjxoxo · 04/12/2022 06:23

He’s clearly a shit and i don’t know anyone who thinks he is wonderful.
Who the hell is ‘celebrating’ Matt Hancock?! It’s Matt Hancock 😂cheating, sleazy, arse groper, politician. No more to say!

Westfacing · 04/12/2022 06:25

Marriages break up and it must be very difficult if you're in the public eye - but do neither of them ever think of the five children involved when they're cavorting and posing for the TV/tabloids. Gina flying out for the end of Celebrity was a low point.

Onedayatatime22 · 04/12/2022 06:28

I really couldn't care who he is sh@gging - affairs and infidelities have happened since time immemorial. He is particularly ick inducing but nothing new. But he seems to think that this is what he needed to 'apologise' for.

The fact that he is now publicising his book, and blaming covid in the care homes on 'infected care workers' who were risking their lives daily whilst using sanitary towels and bin bags, is a whole other matter.... and he seems oblivious to people's anger about it. He's a weasel.

Ladyintangerine · 04/12/2022 06:48

Aha...well you know what they say "How you get them is how you lose them" 🙂

user26189065 · 04/12/2022 07:07

I don't know why he is still banging on about it, I couldn't really care less about his affair, they happen all the while, MN is full of them. Anyone sharp would have come quietly out of the jungle and got their head quietly back down at work not paraded themselves in the Daily Mail which seems to swop between him and H and M, it will be their turn next week though and his week of fame will be over.

Ponkyandthebrain · 04/12/2022 07:44

He’s not just a person. He was the health secretary who enforced the most draconian rules on our freedoms as a society in history. I’m not arguing they weren’t necessary, they were. But he could have had the decency to follow them himself instead of bonking his secretary at work. No hands, face, space for them. Not only does he have zero respect for his wife he has zero respect for everyone in this country. He’s utterly vile and should have had the decency to crawl under a rock for the rest of his days.

user26189065 · 04/12/2022 09:17

It's the not following the guidelines that annoys me the most, I see it on a same level of badness as Cumming's Durham shenanigans and the Downing St. parties

Ponkyandthebrain · 04/12/2022 12:35

They can also get under a rock

Oh come on. When you're the love story of the millenium you just can't keep it to yourself, you want everyone to know how blessed you are and that you never knew happiness before this.

I recommend that no-one reads the interview in the DM. Obsequious uncritical vomit inducing shite about sums it up.

^ Absolutely this ^^

And to be now adding insult to injury by serialising his self-justifying diaries! Utterly despicable behaviour!
