Matt Hancock claims extra £1,100 a month in expenses to rent love nest after marriage split

Matt Hancock is claiming an extra £13,200 a year in expenses from the taxpayer to rent a love nest after quitting his marital home.

The former Health Secretary has been claiming £3,300 a month for a property in London since September, shortly before he earned £320,000 for appearing on TV reality show, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.

Mr Hancock’s expenses claim is now 50% more than his previous one for a house in his constituency.
