Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he broke the Covid guidelines he himself had introduced because he had fallen in love with his aide.
Mr Hancock resigned last year after leaked CCTV footage showed him in his Whitehall office in an embrace with adviser Gina Coladangelo. He left his wife and children to start a relationship with Ms Coladangelo, who was also married with children.
The Mirror reports that the footage was taken on May 6 2021, when indoor social gatherings of people from different households were banned under law and guidance urged people to stay two metres apart and avoid "face to face contact".
