Matt Hancock and girlfriend join I'm A Celeb winner Jill Scott's wrap party

Matt Hancock and girlfriend Gina Coladangelo led the I'm A Celebrity campmates out to a star-studded party in Australia on Monday night despite being criticised for not getting back to work as an MP.

Before going onto the show, the disgraced politician had suggested he was contactable before and after going onto the show and his aides told how he had access to a laptop.

But around 8 hours after arriving back from camp in the JW Marriott hotel he was seen at a private drinks event with other contestants including winner Jill Scott and Sue Cleaver.

And dressed in a white shirt with Gina by his side in all white, the pair put on a loved-up display as they boarded a mini bus arm in arm to head to a huge dinner party in nearby La Luna restaurant.

They were joined by a host of other celebs also going out to party with camera and production crew.

Winner Jill looked a far cry from her jungle get-up as she cut a glamorous figure in an all black jumpsuit and trainers.

After going bare-faced in the jungle for three weeks straight, Jill looked incredible as she sported a full face of glamorous makeup, while she styled her long straight locks away from her face in a tight ponytail.

Mike Tindall's wife Zara also cut an elegant figure in a green satin dress and a gold clutch bag, while Boy George lived up to his flamboyant sense of style in a red hat and blue tartan trousers.

Seann Walsh, 36, also looked ready to party as he left the lavish hotel with his pregnant girlfriend Grace Addeley.

The comedian donned some rose-tinted sunglasses and flashed a wide grin as he headed to the minibus, while A Place In THe Sun's Scarlette Douglas looked a vision in aqua blue.

The event at a local surf club was described as "a toast to thank each and everyone of you" and featured giant white neon lights spelling out IAC 22.

Hancock is a serving MP so is being paid to serve his constituents today whilst at this party. The decision to go on the ITV series has been controversial and saw him suspended by the conservative party.

But Hancock insists it was a correct decision to show MPs in a different light.

He told Ant and Dec: "I wanted to show what I was like as a person. Lots of people come to me with preconceived ideas, for obvious reasons.

"And I just wanted to be myself. But I also actually strongly believe that for politicians as a whole, we don't come across as human enough. And this is probably the most extreme way of just showing who you are, I am someone who throws himself into things.

"And we managed to talk about some important things here."

On Good Morning Britain today, Susanna Reid, 51, quizzed Jill on whether or not she is now going to make a move into TV presenting as she begged her not to take her job.

"Jill, you look a bit different now to how you did in the jungle. Do you have any plans to go into presenting or TV now? Or maybe you'll do a stint on Good Morning Britain. I cant deny you are looking so glam. I'm feeling a little nervous here," Susanna quipped.

To which a very humble Jill replied: "Well I've had two baths and two showers to look like this and to smell better.

"I think your job is very safe," Jill joked.

On Sunday night, the football star was elated with her big win, with her new friends and co-stars cheering her on as she was declared the new Queen of the Jungle.

Speaking as she was crowned Queen of the Jungle, Jill smiled wildly as she celebrated her win. Owen, who placed second, was also thrilled for her.

"I can't believe it. I honestly think I'm going to owe my grandma a lot of money," she said, "These guys were absolutely incredible. I don't think there should be one winner."
