Matt Hancock has accused former Scots bra tycoon Michelle Mone of sending him a "threatening" message after a firm she was helping did not secure a deal during the covid pandemic.
The former Tory Health Secretary, who has recently returned from a stint in the I'm A Celeb jungle, claimed the Tory peer was "extraordinarily aggressive" when lobbying to help a company win a lateral flow test contract.
In his new book, Pandemic Diaries, Hancock said Mone "was throwing around wild accusations" because the firm wasn't getting the contracts it deserved.
