'He's had his play ALREADY!': Hilarious moment Downing Street police joke with TikTok user who asks 'is Matt Hancock allowed out to play'
- Downing Street police joke with public Matt Hancock has 'had his play already'
- Video shows officers quipping ex-health secretary is 'clearing out his locker'
- Hancock cheated on wife with aide Gina Coladangelo and left government
This is the hilarious moment armed Downing Street police officers mocked cheating Matt Hancock when a member of the public jokingly asked whether the former Health Secretary could 'come out to play'.
In video posted on TikTok, an officer standing guard cheekily tells the laughing heckler that disgraced Mr Hancock 'is clearing out his locker', before another quips 'he's had his play already'.
Mr Hancock left government and ditched his wife of 15 years last week after the Sun splashed images of his clinch with millionaire aide Gina Coladangelo, the wife of Oliver Bonas founder Oliver Tress.
This is the hilarious moment armed Downing Street police officers mock cheating Matt Hancock after a member of the public jokes if the disgraced former Health Secretary can 'come out and play'
In video posted to social media, armed officers standing guard cheekily tells a heckler Mr Hancock 'is clearing out his locker' to roars of laughter from the public as they laugh: 'He's had his play already'
The clip, filmed by company boss Dan Wright on Monday afternoon, has gone viral and been viewed more than a million times already.
In the video, Mr Wright asks the group of armed policemen: 'Is Matt allowed to play? Is Matt allowed to come out and play?' The smirking officer then responds: 'No, he's cleaning his locker out at the moment' - to roars of laughter from his colleagues.
Passerby Mr Wright, of Chelmsford, Essex, also bursts out laughing while a second armed police officer quips: 'He's had his play already.'
Social media users praised the video, with one writing: 'I love the British humour.' Another said: 'I find everything about this so funny, what a stinker he has had.'
The Metropolitan Police have been contacted for comment.
It comes amid reports Miss Coladangelo, 43, has left her husband and is determined to 'make a go' of her relationship with the disgraced former Health Secretary.
Miss Coladangelo stepped down from her Health Department director role hours after Mr Hancock himself resigned over pictures of them in a passionate embrace.
Mr Hancock, 42, had also ended his marriage to wife Martha shortly before the revelations were made public and is now understood to be living with his lover.
Mr Hancock left government and ditched his wife of 15 years last week after the Sun splashed images of his clinch with millionaire aide Gina Coladangelo, the wife of Oliver Bonas founder Oliver Tress
It has now been reported by The Sun that Mrs Coladangelo, 43, has split with her husband Oliver Tress after her affair was exposed.
Sources have said the millionaire Oliver Bonas founder has been left 'devastated' by the affair and her departure from their 12-year marriage.
She was pictured leaving her £4.5million south west London home hours before pictures of their hallway tryst were exposed.
Husband Oliver however helped as she loaded packed bags into the back of her £70,000 Audi Q7. He did not leave with her.
Friends now say that Mr Hancock and Mrs Coladangelo are in love and want to 'make a go' of their new relationship.
A neighbour in Wandsworth, South West London, told the publication: 'Gina and Matt are giving it a proper go and Olly was left reeling.
'They had lots of friends here so we are all trying to help look after Olly.'
Sources had said on Saturday night - when Mr Hancock resigned - that the pair had been seeing each other for around six weeks, but were a 'love match'.
The leaked CCTV footage of their tryst sparked a furious backlash among Tory MPs behind closed doors, while an awkward silence remained among ministers.
Mr Hancock initially clung on to his Health Secretary job, helped by the Prime Minister's backing, but later resigned under intense pressure from 80 MPs.
In a video announcing his resignation Mr Hancock said: 'The last thing I would want is for my private life to distract attention from the single-minded focus that is leading us out of this crisis.
'I want to reiterate my apology for breaking the guidance, and apologise to my family and loved ones for putting them through this. I also need (to) be with my children at this time.'
The Prime Minister said he was 'sorry' to receive Mr Hancock's resignation as Health Secretary.
He said Mr Hancock 'should leave office very proud of what you have achieved - not just in tackling the pandemic, but even before Covid-19 struck us'.
Boris Johnson added: 'I am grateful for your support and believe that your contribution to public service is far from over.'
Mr Johnson has since faced criticism for his decision to back Mr Hancock - with a spokesman even saying he 'considered the matter closed' - only for Mr Hancock to resign amid increasing pressure.
And yesterday he at one point even appeared to suggest he had sacked Mr Hancock but the Prime Minister's Official Spokesman then said the Cabinet minister had resigned.
Mr Johnson told broadcasters: 'When I saw the story on Friday we had a new Secretary of State for Health in on Saturday.'
The comment ignited a war of words from Dominic Cummings, the Prime Minister's former adviser, who mocked Mr Johnson over the Health Secretary's resignation.
Mr Cummings seized on the chaos as he labelled Mr Johnson 'Trolley' in a tweet in which he poked fun at the PM for seemingly changing his mind on the issue.
He also jibed that Mr Johnson had only seen sense on whether Mr Hancock should stay or go after he received '89 texts per hour' from his wife Carrie.
There were also questions yesterday about Mrs Coladangelo appointment after No10 said former health secretary Mr Hancock had personally handed her a role as a non-executive director (NED) for his department last September.
It remains unclear if their romance began before she was appointed to the department or if this was ever declared as a conflict of interest.
Labour's shadow Cabinet Office minister Fleur Anderson said: 'The Government must publish all documents relating to the appointment of Gina Coladangelo.
'The role of a non-executive director is to challenge and scrutinise the minister.
'We need to know if the nature of their relationship was declared and whether the recruitment process was carried out in a fair and transparent way.'
But Justice Secretary Robert Buckland told Sky News: 'Everything that I understand so far leads me to believe due process was followed in the appointment of this person and any declarations that should've been made were made.'
Sajid Javid, the former Chancellor, took over the role of Health Secretary, writing that he was 'honoured to be serving my country from the Cabinet once again'.
Boris Johnson was yesterday accused of 'rewriting history' after he implied he sacked Matt Hancock over his affair despite initially refusing to fire the cheating Health Secretary when he was caught in a passionate embrace with an aide.
Mr Johnson's claims ran contrary to No 10's insistence, hours after CCTV footage of the clinch emerged on Thursday night, that Mr Johnson considered the 'matter closed' and had 'full confidence' in Mr Hancock, who would keep his job because he had said sorry.
But after 80 Tory MPs told No 10 he had to go after they were deluged with complaints, Mr Hancock gave a video statement on Saturday afternoon that he had quit after he breached social distancing guidance by kissing Gina Coladangelo against his office door.
In response Mr Johnson said he was 'sorry to receive' Hancock's resignation.
And an extraordinary U-turn was completed on a campaign visit to Batley ahead of Thursday's crucial by-election yesterday afternoon, where the PM suggested he had fired the Health Secretary and replaced him with Sajid Javid, adding that the Government's 'moral compass' is intact.
When asked whether Hancock's affair undermined the message about the country being 'all in it together', Mr Johnson said: 'That's right, and that's why when I saw the story on Friday we had a new Secretary of State for Health in on Saturday.' He added: 'I think that's about the right pace to proceed in a pandemic'.
Adding to the confusion over Mr Hancock's exit, the Prime Minister's spokesman later said Boris Johnson did not sack Matt Hancock as health secretary, or urge him to quit over the scandal, despite Mr Johnson's implication he acted to remove him.
He said: 'You can see that actions that the Prime Minister took. He felt it was the right decision to accept the former health secretary's resignation, and we moved to accept a new health and social care secretary that day.'
When asked what had changed between Friday and Saturday he said: 'They discussed it further the next day and he accepted the resignation.'
No 10 sources said the Prime Minister (left) had only agreed 'reluctantly' to accept his resignation. It came after fellow Cabinet ministers warned they were unwilling to support him in public after the PM insisted the matter was closed

The sting that brought down Matt Hancock was executed by a whistleblower in his department who contacted opponents of the Health Secretary's stance on lockdown to help expose his affair. The clinch took place around this corner (bottom right part of image). The camera in question can be seen on the ceiling (top right-hand corner)
After allowing a month to elapse, the whistleblower approached lockdown sceptics and asked them to help sell the incendiary footage to the media

Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner accused Mr Johnson of trying to take credit for the resignation having ignored calls to sack him immediately.
'Boris Johnson is trying to rewrite history because he didn't have the guts to sack Matt Hancock,' Ms Rayner said.
'A fish rots from the head down, and by failing to sack the former Health Secretary, Johnson proved he doesn't have the leadership qualities or judgment required to be Prime Minister.'
Mr Johnson's combustible former chief advisor Dominic Cummings seized on the confusion today accuse the PM's wife Carrie of ordering the removal of Hancock and the appointment of her 'friend' Mr Javid after '89 texts per hour'.
In a series of tweets where Mr Cummings referred to Boris as 'The Trolley' - a nickname he gave his former boss because he said in No 10 he was like 'a shopping trolley smashing from one side of the aisle to the other'.
Giving a mock timetable of events Mr Cummings said: 'Trolley Fri: Argh, accept apology I consider the matter closed Media/MP babble, 89 Carrie texts p/hour
'Trolley Sat, SMASH: 'Arghhh Matt go now you'll be back better stronger shortly matey forward to victory!
'Trolley Mon, CRASH: when I saw the story on Fri we had a new SoS on Sat'.
He added 'Free top tip for Saj (Javid): there's only thing 'irreversible' with the Trolley, only one line that is ever held thro crises, & all in No10 live by this rule: 'no comment' on PM's private life. *Everything* else is 'reversible' & usually reversed'.
Mr Hancock was accused of 'sh**ging on the taxpayer' after it was revealed he took his mistress to the G7 summit and claims they may have started their affair a year ago with the shamed Tory who has abandoned his wife Martha and is said to have told friends: 'He loves her and wants to be with her. It's properly serious'.
The Health Secretary's trip to a meeting of fellow ministers at Oxford University in early June included an overnight stay - but it is not known if his lover Gina Coladangelo shared his bed four weeks after their CCTV kiss against his office door.
But there are suspicions that they may have enjoyed a night away together in a luxury hotel after a day of working in the city where they met while studying more than 20 years ago. The summit was just 50 miles from his north London family home, which he shared with his wife of 15 years Martha, 44, and their three children - but Mr Hancock decided to have a night away on June 3.
One cabinet source told The Sunday Times: 'She went with him to the G7 health ministers summit. Did he disclose this to the PM? If it was shown he was sh**ging on the taxpayer, he had to go. He's been puritan-in-chief in the government and now it turns out he's a massive, lying hypocrite'.
It came as rumours emerged that they may have been having a secret affair for more than a year. The millionaire lobbyist, 43, whose husband is the founder of Oliver Bonas, first started working for Mr Hancock since his failed leadership bid in 2019.
Other sources said the 'love match' had featured intimate restaurant meals and a hotel stay during a summit.
Mr Hancock's demise began late on Thursday afternoon. He had been in the House of Commons, defending his department's controversial plans to share data on tens of millions of National Health Service patients with outside organisations.
After saying his piece and leaving, he received a call from The Sun newspaper at around 6pm, informing him that they had photos and video of him kissing his aide in his office, taken on May 6.
After saying as little as possible to the journalist, he returned to the London residence he shares with wife Martha, when they are not at their home in his Suffolk constituency, and their three children.
CCTV at Matt Hancock's office 'was no secret', MP says
The door (to the left) is the same one as seen in the footage of Matt Hancock's clinch
Matt Hancock has been accused of naivety as MPs were told that the camera which caught him kissing his aide was not a secret.
Cabinet Office minister Julia Lopez admitted the device was 'not covert', dismissing theories that a rogue member of staff or security guard had planted a recording device to capture the former health secretary's affair with Gina Coladangelo.
Ministers' offices are now being swept for bugs and hidden cameras.
Mrs Lopez told MPs that the camera in Mr Hancock's office was an 'outlier' and that it was not general policy for recording devices to be put in ministerial offices.
But she confirmed it was a CCTV camera operated by the Department of Health, adding that responsibility for security was down to the department, which was led by Mr Hancock until his resignation.
The Mail understands that security arrangements had been outsourced to a private contractor.
But the House of Commons was told that ministers' offices are regularly swept for bugs, with some dealing with important issues of national security being checked more often on a 'risk-based assessment'.
Mr Hancock is understood to have told her that the story was set to appear, about the photographs it contained and that their marriage was over.
He then woke their youngest son, who is just eight-years-old, to tell him too that he was going.
Family friends said yesterday it was a bombshell from nowhere for Martha. She had believed their marriage had been 'happy and stable', and reportedly had no suspicions over her Facebook friend, whom she had also met while at Oxford.
The Hancock family had enjoyed Christmas parties with Miss Coladangelo and her husband, a joint founder of the Oliver Bonas retail chain.
Miss Coladangelo was seen on Thursday evening, shortly after the newspaper's phone call, outside the £4million mansion she shares with her husband and children. He was reportedly helping her load her car with belongings.
She is said to be lying low at a house in West Sussex and - on Friday as the scandal gathered pace - to have been 'cheery'. On that day, despite the devastating headlines and an instant storm of calls for Mr Hancock to resign, both he and Downing Street insisted they were standing firm.
By late morning, Mr Hancock had finally conceded he may have behaved wrongly, apologising for breaching social distancing rules - but he insisted that he was staying in the job.
He and Miss Coladangelo had come a long way since they met on Oxford student radio station Oxygen FM in the late '90s. She was the star of the show, presenting a politics programme, with many male admirers - while Mr Hancock, according to his fellow volunteers, was a lowly sports reporter.
Miss Coladangelo even told Radio 4 how when he was given a rare free ticket to commentate on a rugby match, he ended up oversleeping and failing to get to the stadium on time.
Instead, he watched the match on a pub television screen - but phoned his report in at half-time, pretending he had been at the game in person.
The lies and bluffing finally came to an end early on Saturday evening, when Mr Hancock visited the Prime Minister's country residence Chequers then issued a video resigning his post. Mr Hancock said: 'The last thing I would want is for my private life to distract attention from the single-minded focus that is leading us out of this crisis.'
There were calls last night for Mr Hancock to be stripped of his £16,000 severance pay. The payment is standard to ministers in whatever circumstances they leave their role.
Tory MPs also started to turn against Mr Hancock over the weekend as they were deluged with complaints from constituents about his conduct.
Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen said the PM had made a misjudgment in initially trying to keep him in post.
'Loyalty is normally a virtue,' he said. 'But it became clear within hours that Matt Hancock was losing the confidence of the public.
'A lot of colleagues raised that with the Chief Whip and No 10 on Saturday morning. The moment he lost public confidence, how could he stand up and say people have to adhere to these rules when he had broken them himself?' Mr Hancock quit on Saturday night, around 40 hours after CCTV pictures emerged of him in a passionate embrace in his office with glamourous married aide Gina Coladangelo.
In his resignation letter, which followed private talks in No 10 with the PM, he said he did not want to 'distract attention' from efforts to fight Covid.
In reply, Mr Johnson said he could be 'very proud' of his record during the pandemic.
No 10 sources said the Prime Minister had only agreed 'reluctantly' to accept his resignation.
