Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock suffered two broken ribs during a tussle with former Love Islander Teddy Soares on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
In another scene, set to air on Sunday, the disgraced former Conversative minister is labelled a “weasel-faced c***”. Teddy admitted he “took out a lot of frustration on Matt” as they scrapped on a pontoon in a lake during a challenge on the reality TV show, reports The Mirror.
Teddy, 28, said: “It felt amazing. I couldn’t bring myself to go back to the UK without having kicked his ass. I didn’t feel guilty.
“When we got home, he messaged me and said, ‘You really did do a number on me’.”
Another of the show’s gruelling stages saw Matt, 45, called out over his affair with aide Gina Coladangelo. The couple, who were both married to other people at the time, were caught smooching, a move that broke the Covid social distancing guidelines of the time.
The scandal forced the politician to resign as Health Secretary in 2021. Sunday’s episode will see Matt stripped to his underpants as interrogator Debs – who some say resembles ex-Prime Minister Liz Truss – yells: “You’re not a good looking guy, are you?
“Pubes on your chest, moobs, so how did you do it, Matty, babe?”
A sheepish Matt replies with “well”, only for Debs to demand: “What kind of a f***ing arrogant, c***-sucking answer is that, you weasel-faced c***?”
Celebrity SAS instructor Chris Oliver, watching on from the sidelines, said: “If that was for real he’d be missing a few teeth by now.”
The Umpire overseeing the interrogation quipped: “That sort of attitude is not going to get him killed but it’ll get him a kicking.”
It comes as reports emerge suggesting West Suffolk MP Matt has quit as a director of dyslexia charity Accessible Learning Foundation which he set up last month. A spokesperson for Matt said: “Matt has recruited a brilliant director to run it from its launch.
“He’s very excited about helping build ALF for the long term, and won’t be stepping back in any way. To say otherwise is utter nonsense.”
Matt was paid £45,000 to take part in Celebrity SAS. He also received £320,000 for I’m a Celebrity… last year.
His constituents were angry he filmed the ITV show in Australia instead of representing them.
