Boris Johnson today implied he sacked Matt Hancock over his affair despite initially defending the cheating Health Secretary when he was caught in a passionate embrace with an aide.
Hours after CCTV footage of the clinch emerged the Prime Minister's spokesman said Mr Johnson considered the 'matter closed' and had 'full confidence' in Mr Hancock, who would keep his job because he 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 resigned after he breached social distancing guidance by kissing Gina Coladangelo against his office door.
