Danielle Lloyd has revealed she formed an unlikely bond with Matt Hancock during their time on Celebrity SAS and he’s invited her on a double date. 

The former Health Secretary, 44, is dating his former aide Gina Coladangelo, 46, while Danielle married electrician Michael O’Neill in 2019. 

While glamour model Danielle, 39, got on with the politician during their time in Thung Ui, north Vietnam, she confessed that she doesn’t think the conversation would flow as well at a civilised dinner. 

She told OK! magazine: ‘We’re very different people – I honestly don’t know what we’d talk about, but I’m sure it’d be a fun night. I’d just have to get him drunk!’

Speaking about their interactions in camp, she confessed: ‘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, but when I met him, he was nice enough to me – really friendly.’

Danielle continued: ‘Some people definitely had a few questions for him over what went down during the pandemic, but I won’t give too much away. All I’ll say is that he did handle confrontation quite well.’

Matt recently revealed the closest he came to quitting the gruelling programme was after ‘having my rib broken’ during the jungle phase of SAS selection. 

He said: ‘I was determined to keep going so I just kept my mouth shut so I wasn’t medically discharged’. 

Matt, who appears alongside 15 other recruits on the Channel 4 show, previously said he wanted to push his limits after emerging from a ‘challenging period as health secretary during the pandemic’. 

He was health secretary for almost three years but resigned in June 2021 after it emerged he had broken his own Covid-19 guidance by kissing and embracing aide Gina in his office. 

The keen adventurer, who has been a fan of the SAS series ‘for years’, said he was in ‘pretty good shape’ ahead of the show having completed a 100-mile walk of Mont Blanc and an ‘intensive fitness programme’. 

But he said: ‘Being on SAS was like nothing else… it’s one of the toughest physical things I’ve ever done and it really opens your eyes and makes you really look into yourself.’ 

Danielle confessed: 'I honestly don't know what we'd talk about, but I'm sure it'd be a fun night. I'd just have to get him drunk!' (pictured on a  date night with husband Michael)

Matt described a ‘real rapport’ with the other recruits, who include singer Gareth Gates, Olympian Perri Shakes-Drayton and former England footballer Jermaine Pennant – who he was chosen to fight in the first episode’s milling task. 

On the fight, the MP said: ‘I was relieved that I wasn’t being paired with somebody even bigger, or a woman. 

But I thought, this is a bad moment. ‘It didn’t hurt nearly as much as I expected actually, being smacked in the face. 

‘The bravery some people showed sticking at it, especially when there were unequal bouts.’
