MOANING Matt Hancock reckons he has been punished for “living life” over his sordid Covid clinch — as he flogs his book blaming frontline staff for care home deaths.
The ex-Health Secretary yesterday whined about the backlash he has suffered since being caught on CCTV kissing aide Gina Coladangelo in breach of his own coronavirus rules.
It came as the Tory MP returned to the Commons after leaving his constituents to appear in I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in Australia last month.
Plugging his memoir in an interview yesterday, he complained that public anger over the rule-breaking affair had made life miserable.
He told the Daily Mail: “As a consequence of our decision to live life, we have had a shockingly awful 18 months. It’s been absolutely horrific. I’ve had an absolute bucket of s*** poured over my head. The even bigger bucket of s*** has been poured over Gina’s.”
Hancock, 44, was forced to quit his Cabinet job after footage emerged of their snog in his Whitehall office. He left his wife and children to set up home with Miss Coladangelo, 44, on the night their affair became public last year.
But he insisted it was not true that he had woken his son to tell him he was leaving home. “He was awake,” he said.
He told how he fell in love with Miss Coladangelo, who was an old university pal, after she started working for him during the pandemic.
