 Matt Hancock has confessed he regrets his 'weak leadership' at the end of the pandemic during his first, rather savage, interrogation on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. The disgraced former health secretary, 44, resigned from his position in Boris Johnson's cabinet after breaching Covid social distancing rules by kissing a colleague in government offices. He addressed his affair with now-girlfriend Gina Coladangelo during the new series' opening episode, after he was pulled into the first chat with the course instructors. This followed his 'catastrophic failure' during the initial challenge, which saw the 16 celebrity contestants, which also include former Towie star James 'Arg' Argent and ex rugby pro Gareth Thomas, tasked with crossing poles at a terrifying height. After being labelled a 'complete and utter buffoon' by the DS team of ex-Special Forces operators for barely managing to leave the platform he started on, instead somersaulting through the air, he was questioned by Chief Instructor Billy Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox, Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver. As he first reflected on his biggest challenge in government, Hancock said: 'I was managing a very difficult scenario in a professional sense and thought I'd done a good job. He was questioned on his leadership during the pandemic, for which he eventually expressed regret (Picture: Channel 4) Hancock at times seemed to be close to tears, but he kept his resolve during questioning (Picture: Channel 4) 'And then I fell in love with someone who I'd known since university and worked closely with in government.' However, the DS were not letting him get off that lightly, with Chris suggesting that his behaviour made it seem like he thought he was 'above' the rules he imposed on the rest of the country in lockdown. 'The truth is I was very careful to not break the law,' Hanc){kind=link}
