Matt Hancock, look away now. The former health secretary may not enjoy seeing this picture of an actor in a wetsuit playing him on stage at the Hippodrome in Leicester Square last night. It was part of a show organised by Isabel Oakeshott, the journalist who leaked his WhatsApps earlier this year.
It gets worse for Matt: in a Q&A explaining her reasons for leaking the texts, Oakeshott revealed that she’s hoping to do more news stories on them, particularly on the vaccine roll-out. She also said she has Matt’s “flirty messages with another cabinet minister”, though not which one.
