Matt Hancock “got f****** smashed” on ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’.
The 44-year-old MP - who served as the UK's health secretary during the COVID-19 pandemic n - is set to appear on the upcoming star-studded edition of the Channel 4 military endurance show and got “absolutely destroyed” by the programme’s tough tests of both mental and physical strength.
Chief Instructor Billy Billingham told the Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “We treat everybody the same and we really went at him.
“You might think that he’d be a c*** but for most of the time he wasn’t. But if anyone shows any attitude, they get it and when he tried it, he got f***** smashed.
“In the interrogation bit, he gets destroyed, absolutely destroyed.
"At the time I thought, ‘Oh, hang on, maybe this is a bit much’. But no, he deserved it.
“The idea is every single contestant will either leave on day one or will leave as a better version of themselves and with Matt Hancock, he’s still got a long way to go.”
Matt - who is stepping down from his position as a a Conservative MP - used his stint on last year’s ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here’ to beg for “forgiveness” and explained he had made a "big" mistake" after his affair aide Gina Coladangelo was exposed whilst his own social distancing rules were in place.
He told ‘Loose Women’ panellist and fellow campmate Charlene White: “Do you know what it is actually what I’m really looking for is a bit of forgiveness, that’s what I’m really looking for. We all make mistakes. I made a pretty big one.”
Matt also told comedian Babatunde Aleshe while in the jungle: “It was really tough. I messed up and I fessed up. I resigned and it’s no excuse but I fell in love, right? That also had a lot of other consequences, obviously.”
