Matt Hancock dances in Instagram video
Danielle Lloyd has claimed that she and her husband Michael O’Neill have been invited on a “double date” alongside Matt Hancock and his girlfriend Gina Colangelo.
However, she doubts whether the conversation between them would be flowing – and says she might have to get him “drunk”.
In a new column for OK! magazine published today, she told the world the former Health Secretary – who has divided opinion due to his handling of the coronavirus crisis – had sent her several messages asking to meet since filming wrapped up.
“We’re very different people – I honestly don’t know what we’d talk about,” she exclaimed, before adding: “I’m sure it’d be a fun night!”
She then chuckled: “I’d just have to get him drunk!”

Danielle also claimed that Matt faced “intense” questioning sessions during the filming of the show from contestants.
Matt had ended up on the front page of newspapers during the heat of the pandemic after his affair with his then-aide Gina was exposed and pictures were released of him kissing her despite Covid restrictions.
The fallout spelt the end of his marriage and his career – but he then continued his romance with Gina publicly and began to carve out a future in reality TV, appearing on shows such as I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Although Danielle acknowledged there were tough questions put to him on Celebrity SAS by Matt’s fellow celebrities, she says she was able to see past his controversial history.

“I’m definitely not into politics, he was just someone I saw on the news every day when we were being told not to leave our houses,” she explained.
“I tend to take people as I find them, I try not to take into account things I’ve heard before.”
Revealing that Matt was very “friendly” towards her, she also praised him for the way he “handled confrontation”.
She added that officers on the show “absolutely annihilated” him, while he was also mocked by members of the public over footage of him thrusting his hips by a pool.
The so-called “dad dancing” was released to promote the show and saw viewers poke fun at him – but Matt insisted he was in “pretty good shape” after preparing for the show with an “intensive fitness programme” and a 100-mile mountain walk on Mont Blanc.
He claimed, according to ITV, that he broke a rib during a tough stint in the Vietnam jungle but “kept his mouth shut” in order to avoid being medically discharged from the programme,
Matt also said that the directing staff on the show “pushed his buttons” to get a “rise” out of him.
However, despite his rocky start, Danielle says Matt belongs to the SAS team members’ WhatsApp group – and it’s now just a case of getting everyone together for a drink.
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins airs on Channel 4 tonight at 9.30pm.
