Critics accused him of 'faking' emotion
Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock broke down and said he was 'looking for is a bit of forgiveness' on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! It came as he was grilled by ITV journalist and presenter Charlene White and Radio X presenter Chris Moyles.
Presenter Charlene White then chimed in: "Matt, you were socialising with someone outside of your household," but the MP insisted: "I didn't break any laws, it was guidance. But the problem was it was my guidance. It was a mistake because I fell in love with somebody. That's why I apologised for it."
Chris Moyles then added: "We were liking you on the telly on the briefings, you were very articulate and human and I think that's why a lot of people felt let down." Later speaking to Scarlette, Chris said: "It was when he asked for forgiveness. I wanted to say 'forgiveness for what, Matt? What are you sorry for, being caught or having an affair, making bad decisions or lying? If you're going to be real then be real. I don't think he's being real and it's bugging me."
@dccarruthers wrote: "So glad people like Chris Moyles are seeing through Matt Hancock's ******** that he's here for forgiveness with his fake emotion, it's like the Covid vaccine fake cry all over again."
