Boris Johnson has earned nearly £1m in a month to bring his earnings this parliament up to £2.3m.

Matt Hancock also revealed his earnings from his 18-day appearance on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

Mr Johnson’s latest update to the MPs register of interests reveals he received £510,000 as an advance on his upcoming book.

He also earned £200,892.86 for a speech to Indian conglomerate Aditya Birla Management and £246,406.57 from Bloomberg Singapore for a speech he made in the city.

The former prime minister earned £3,000 for an article he wrote for The Spectator magazine, which he said took an hour to write.

His total earnings from 14 December to 13 January were £960,298.

The income is on top of his salary, made up of £84,144 for being an MP and an additional £79,936 for when he was prime minister.

Mr Johnson has now made £2,328,964 in extra earnings since the start of this parliament in December 2019.

He made more than £1m of that in the three months from September to mid-December after he handed over his premiership to Liz Truss.

In the latest update, Mr Johnson also revealed he was given flowers and chocolate with a value of £785 by Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE’s foreign minister.

Mr Johnson’s latest declaration likely makes him the second highest earning MP this parliament as he overtakes Sir Geoffrey Cox but remains behind Theresa May, who declared nothing in the past month.

Matt Hancock, who had the Conservative whip removed for appearing on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here, revealed he earned £320,000 from the show – £17,777 a day.

His declaration ends much speculation about how much he was paid for the programme.

The West Suffolk MP was also paid £10,000 for a speech to Blemain Finance and £48,000 for an interview and serialisation of his book in the Daily Mail.
