Matt Hancock has recorded a podcast in which he answered “all the tough questions” about his time as health secretary and his lockdown-breaking affair.

Mr Hancock was accompanied by partner and former aide Gina Coladangelo as he recorded The Diary Of A CEO podcast with Dragons’ Den judge Steven Bartlett.

The judge and multi-millionaire posted pictures of Mr Hancock, wearing a rollneck jumper, and Ms Coladangelo, who the MP had an affair with.

He resigned as health secretary in June 2021 after CCTV images revealed them kissing in his office the month before, breaking his own lockdown rules.

Mr Bartlett said he questioned Mr Hancock on Downing Street lockdown parties, where the CCTV footage came from and what mistakes he made as health secretary.

He said it was the first time since the podcast started in 2017 “that things got a little heated between me and a guest at one point”.

“However, Matt did answer all of the tough questions I asked him and nothing will be edited out,” Mr Bartlett added.

“You will see it all.”

Mr Hancock is still an MP for West Suffolk but separated from his wife Martha, who he has three children with, after the photos of him with Ms Coladangelo emerged.

Last month, Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague received a severe backlash after telling the Diary Of A CEO podcast “we all have the same 24 hours of the day”.

The comments by the PrettyLittleThing creative director went viral, especially with one comment saying “if you’re homeless just buy a house”.

She apologised and said her intentions were “only ever to tell my story and inspire from my own experience”.

It is not known when the podcast with Mr Hancock will be released.
