AFTER his alleged affair with Gina Coladangelo was exposed by The Sun today, Matt Hancock is now a 100/1 longshot to strut his way into the Love Island villa. Yes, really.

The ITV2 smash hit gets underway on Monday evening and with the villa situated in the coincidentally now green-listed Balearic Islands, the UK's Health Secretary could be in-line for a summer of sunshine and romance, according to Ladbrokes.

CCTV footage appears to show the married Mr Hancock outside of his office just after 3pm on May 6, in the throes of passion with Ms Coladangelo - who was appointed as his aide in September 2020.

Jessica O’Reilly of Ladbrokes said: "It appears Matt Hancock has been doing bits in Westminster, and if he’s soon to be axed from his role as Health Secretary his odds of spending the summer in Majorca could be slashed."

However, we wouldn't suggest putting your mortgage on this happening as you can get shorter odds on Switzerland winning Euro 2020...

Alas, Love Island applications remain open as the 11-strong lineup revealed earlier this week is incomplete, with ITV bosses seeking more singletons to throw into the mix.

There are currently no Lancashire lads or lasses entering the villa, but that could change with the channel calling on people to keep applying.

ITV says: "ITV2 are looking for vibrant singles from across the UK who want to head to the sun, in search of love!

"The chosen cast will spend time in a luxury villa, getting to know one another, but to remain in paradise they must win the hearts of the public and their fellow Islanders who ultimately decide their fate on Love Island.

"If you think you’ve got what it takes, then we want to hear from you straight away."

To be considered for the show you will need to be at least 18-years-old and you cannot be employed, or related to anyone employed by ITV or Motion Content Group Limited.

You must also hold a passport valid until February 2022 and be available for ten consecutive weeks.
