Matt Hancock announced on Wednesday that he would step down as MP and not stand for re-election in the next general election, but he has now been suggested to present Good Morning Britain.
The former health secretary has said he will be leaving a post at the forefront of politics after finishing third in I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and before his time with Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The congressman, who was found to be violating his own Covid leadership by having an affair with Gina Coladangelo and had his Conservative riding crop removed when he went to the jungle for a reality show, said it was an “honour” to serve constituents of the West Suffolk for the past 12 years.
The odds of Hancock appearing alongside Susanna Reid on the ITV chat show are 2/1, according to William Hill.
Meanwhile, the odds of him making it to Question Time are slim, and Hancock is 8/1 for a place in the 2023 Great Celebrity Bake Off, 16/1 for an appearance on the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing and 500/1 instead. , Daniel Craig replaces James Bond as next.
William Hill spokesman Lee Phelps said: “Preparing to step down from Parliament at the next General Election, if not before, Matt Hancock could look to branch further into TV,” reports Metro.
He also has plans to appear at Dancing On Ice 2023 at 20/1, The Masked Singer or The Masked Dancer next year as 50/1 and Celebrity Master Chef at 8/1.
While it looks like he might have a seat at the GMB, viewers haven’t forgotten the bizarre interview he gave two years ago that left them in tears and which he has since recounted in his book The Pandemic Diaries.
The former health secretary appeared on the ITV show two years ago, leaving viewers confused and some wondering if he was faking tears as he talked about the pandemic.
Summarizing an excerpt from the diaries, Susanna said Hancock recalled that he had “losing it altogether’ and that he was ‘blubbing away, battling to regain my composure as tears streamed down my face”, reports Metro.
