Matt Hancock resigned from the cabinet tonight after damaging details of his conduct over his affair with aide Gina Coladangelo were revealed.
The health secretary fell on his sword after fellow cabinet ministers and MPs said his position was untenable and friends told him the only way to save his political career was to throw in the towel.
Hancock told Boris Johnson he was resigning last night after he was informed that he was facing the prospect of a police investigation into whether he broke the law by kissing and fondling his adviser while the public was banned from hugging their loved ones.
Michael Gove, the cabinet office minister, Oliver Dowden, the culture secretary, and Nadhim Zahawi, the vaccines minister are all in the running to succeed him but Johnson will wait to make an appointment.
Support for the health secretary had been leaching away after it emerged that Hancock told his wife he was leaving her on Thursday evening shortly after he learned that his affair with married female aide Gina Coladangelo was about to be exposed.
Martha Hancock had no idea her husband was having an affair with his university friend until the health secretary broke the news and announced that their marriage was over.
