Matt has said he will love seeing Gina when he crosses the bridge

Gina and Matt have been dating for several years but have known each other for many years.

The couple first met during their time at Oxford University, when they got stuck in with student radio. Their paths crossed again in 2020 when Matt hired Gina as a non-executive director at the Department of Health. At the time of their affair, Gina was married to Oliver Tress – the multi-millionaire founder of lifestyle retailer, Oliver Bonas.

Gina and Oliver welcomed three children during their marriage. Matt and his former wife Martha, also have three children, a daughter and two sons.

Gina is amongst many other family members of contestants arriving in Brisbane this week, ahead of I'm a Celebrity's first eviction, which takes place this Friday.
