The contestants took turns reading each other's letters aloud, with Jill Scott sharing Gina's message.  

The note read: "Dear Matt, wow watching you in the jungle has been quite the experience. We are particularly impressed that you conquered your fear of snakes. We are less sure about the dancing. Although we saw that you almost got the electric slide thanks to Scarlette. Gina xxxxx."

The message comes just days after the businesswoman touched down in Brisbane, where she'll stay until the Tory MP is voted out of the jungle.

According to the Daily Mail, she added: "He has done really well. He's made of tough stuff."

She also admitted that she had been missing the politician, adding that it's been great to see the other contestants are now "having a bit of a go" at taking part in the trials.  

The couple, who were first revealed to be having an affair in June last year, have known each other since their university days when they both became involved in the student radio at Oxford University.
