Matt Hancock was reportedly caught on camera kissing Gina Coladangelo, who was hired last year as a taxpayer-funded aide, while Britain was in the midst of the COVID crisis. Pictures of the Health Secretary appearing to kiss Ms Coladangelo have been published by The Sun. The images appear to have been captured from CCTV footage and are thought to have been taken on May 6 from the headquarters of The Department of Health and Social Care. Gina Coladangelo is the marketing and communications director of high street chain, Oliver Bonas  which was founded by her husband, Oliver Tress. The 43-year-old reportedly met Hancock at Oxford University, where they both studied politics, philosophy and economics (PPE) between 1995 and 1998. Hancock and Coladangelo reportedly bonded over their shared passion for student radio. Coladangelo has previously worked as a director of lobbying firm Luther. Coladangelo joined the Department for Health and Social Care during March 2020, initially on a six-month contract as an unpaid advisor. However, she was later placed on the payroll, with taxpayer cash being used to fund her role . Gina Coladangelos husband is entrepreneur Oliver Tress, founder of fashion brand Oliver Bonas. They have three children together, and live in Wandsworth, South-West London. In 2012, Coladangelo told the Mail about the pressures of being a working mother, and her decision to hire a full-time nanny: I don't worry about my children being closer to their nanny, because I spend as much time as I can with them.  I would never dream of telling other mothers what to do with their lives. Every woman has to make her own choice.
