Watch: Reactions as Matt Hancock tells podcast about his love…and sex life

'It was so public' says Hancock, about his affair 'and so painful'. Yeah, Matt. Sure your wife really appreciates you being so private and sensitive about it now."

Matt Hancock, for it is he, recently gave a lengthy interview to millionaire entrepreneur, Steven Bartlett, for the podcast Diary of a CEO.

His excuse for rule-breaking? Well he fell in love (see also committed adultery).  However, he denied that he had ‘casual sex’ during his high profile affair, with aide Gina Coladangelo, saying: ‘I fell in love with somebody’.

Turtle neck

For the second time, he was seen wearing a turtle neck, after an appearance at a recent Captial Radio event. Is it to hide his brass neck we wonder?

Matt Hancock has insisted that he broke only Covid guidelines rather than rules in kissing his aide and friend in his ministerial office. He eventually resigned over the matter.

“I resigned because I broke the social distance in guidelines then,” Hancock said. “They weren’t actually rules. They weren’t the law. But that’s not the point. The point is they were the guidelines that I’d been proposing.”

He went on: “It actually happened after … the rules were lifted, but the guidance was still in place. So I’m not trying to claim that I hold no bitterness about this because I broke the rules, I fess up, I broke the guidance, and there were only two people responsible for this.”

It happened, no laughing at the back, “because I fell in love with somebody,”

Need cheering up? Watch this. It's pure comedy. The jumper, the storyline, the excuses, the whole Partidgesque atmosphere of it all. Like we're interested in Matt Hancock's affair in the midst of Ukraine… has anyone ever been so totally out of tune with a moment? https://t.co/VYpXm0YYg7

Listened to the passionate Matt Hancock yesterday.
I was so struck by his honesty & compassion.
All he did was fall in love.
How we sorely miss him as we deal with this #Ukraine crisis.
His winning smile & boyish optimism would be such a plus to us all.☀️pic.twitter.com/SaICWz82mm

Now that Matt Hancock has started wearing turtle neck jumpers, I can see what a good bloke he is and truly just like one of us. And that he should absolutely be forgiven. And we should stop laughing at him. And make him our next Prime Minister.

I think it shows a great level of self-dedication from Matt Hancock to think *right now* is a great time to talk about himself. Again.

So if you were in love with someone you could have broken the rules. I think Matt Hancock thinks that falling in love only applies to him, unlike those pesky rules. https://t.co/fkiC9G3VJl

I have to salute Matt Hancock for offering a distraction from the unrelenting awfulness of world events by choosing today of all days to appear on a podcast in the Dapper Laughs turtle neck of contrition to talk about his private life, what a king
