Matt Hancock has said that he had “an absolute bucket of **** poured over my head” because of the Covid rule-breaking affair that broke up his marriage.
Mr Hancock, 44, who was forced to quit as health secretary after being caught in an embrace with aide Gina Coladangelo that broke social distancing rules, spoke out after he returned to the Commons for the first time in five weeks, the Mirror reported. It followed the stint in the I'm A Celebrity reality show jungle which is reported to have earned him a £400,000 fee.
In a newspaper interview published on Friday (December 2), the disgraced former minister said that public anger over his "decision to live life" had made his existence a misery. He pleaded for “forgiveness” from the public as he insisted he is “only human”.
