In a world exclusive, The Sun revealed that married Matt Hancock had been having a secret affair with his closest aide, Gina Coladangelo, 43, on June 26, 2021.
Hancock, 42, and married millionaire lobbyist Gina were caught on camera in a steamy clinch at his Whitehall office on May 6.
He was seen kissing her at the Department of Health’s London HQ during office hours in May 2021 as the mutant Covid variant began spreading.
In his resignation statement, the former Health Secretary said he needed to spend more time with his children but it didn’t contain an apology to his wife of 15 years.
On July 9, 2021, shamed Hancock was seen for the first time since the affair was exposed at a vaccination centre while Mrs Coladangelo was also spotted out as she walked her dog on Wandsworth Common - not wearing her wedding ring.
The ex-Health Secretary, who is still an MP, is already planning a return to politics, reported.
He has allegedly appealed to current and former ministers for advice on how to fight back after his resignation - despite some former Cabinet colleagues urging him to leave the Commons completely.

The close pal said: "Given the notoriety which he has now achieved, it will be impossible for him to find new jobs without declaring them in the MPs’ Register (of Interests).
"That will drag the companies reluctantly into the limelight."
Meanwhile, the Information Commissioner’s Office has been hit by backlash as they raided homes hunting for whistle-blowers during their probe while grieving relatives who lost loved ones to Covid have called for an official probe into Hancock's performance as Health Secretary.
