Who is Matt Hancock's girlfriend?
Matt is currently dating Gina Coladangelo after the pair met at Oxford University while volunteering at a student radio station.
Speaking to Steve Bartlett about their relationship, Matt said: “I’ve known Gina for more than half of my life and we first actually worked together on student radio back in the Oxford days.
“So, we spent a lot of time together, ironically, trying to get me to be able to communicate in a more emotionally intelligent way.”
Gina was previously a marketing and communications director at high street chain Oliver Bonas and was married to the company’s founder Olive Tress.
The pair split after it surfaced that she was in a relationship with Matt.
She was brought in as a communications expert for the Department of Health, which is when Gina began working with Hancok.
