Now, odds of Hancock appearing on the ITV breakfast show alongside the likes of Ben and his co-stars‘We know that he won’t stand in the next election,’ Ben said on Friday’s episode of GMB. ‘There’s been pretty short odds that he’s going to be hosting Good Morning Britain in the near future.’
Jacqui Smith joked that the current anchor should ‘get [his] stuff and get out’, while Iain Dale – who was also on the panel to go over the day’s big headlines – quipped: ‘Put it this way. I think I have more chance of hosting Good Morning Britain thanBen added: ‘I’m intrigued to understand what Matt Hancock thinks is the opportunity… The transition from parliamentarian, from MP, from cabinet minister into a media life is not a simple transition just because he’s had a go on a reality TV show.
‘We learn our trade,’ Ben acknowledged, before joking: ‘Not everyone makes it look as hard as me and Kate.’To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser thatWhile it may be looking like he could take a seat on GMB, viewers haven’t forgotten a bizarre interview he gave two years ago where he burst into tears, which he’s since addressed in his book, The Pandemic Diaries.
