So what next for Matt?
Well, bookmakers William Hill have speculated that the MP’s next steps could see him follow in the footsteps of Ed Balls and host Good Morning Britain.
They currently have him at 2/1 to host the hit ITV morning show.
They also have the 44-year-old at evens to appear on Question Time.
Lee Phelps, a spokesperson for William Hill, said: “Preparing to step down from Parliament at the next General Election, if not before, Matt Hancock could look to branch further into TV.
“Becoming the host of Good Morning Britain is a fancied step for the MP in 2023 at just 2/1, while an appearance on Question Time for the ex-Health Secretary is tipped at Evens.”
What next for Matt?
The speculation doesn’t end there though.
“Hancock showed he’s not shy of the Celebrity TV life in the jungle last month, so appearances on the Celebrity Bake Off, 8/1, and even Strictly, 16/1, could be on the agenda for 2023,” Lee said.
William Hill also have Matt to appear on Celebrity MasterChef 2023 at 8/1 and on Celebrity Mastermind at 10/1.
They have Matt at 20/1 to appear on Dancing On Ice. However, this is highly unlikely as the line-up has already been announced. He’s also at 50/1 to appear on The Masked Singer or Dancer.
