MATT Hancock today admitted his lockdown-busting affair dramatically undermined people’s confidence in the rules - and should be a lesson to future politicians.
The ex-Health Secretary was grilled over THAT steamy clinch with top aide Gina Coladangelo at the Covid inquiry this morning.
He was forced to resign in June 2021 after The Sun revealed the couple’s secret relationship during the pandemic.
Probe lawyer Hugo Keith quizzed him: “I'm sure you acknowledge the incredible offence and upset that was caused by that revelation.”
Pressed if it made the public less likely to obey lockdown, Mr Hancock replied: “Well, what I'd say is that the lesson for the future is very clear.
“And it is important that those who make the rules abide by them, and I resigned in order to take accountability for my failure to do.”
Following The Sun’s story Mr Hancock left his then wife Martha Millar and has since made his relationship with Ms Coladangelo official.
