The former Health Secretary appeared on the programme last week in a highly-publicised interview.

Since then, broadcast regulator OFCOM has published an official report of complaints between received between Tuesday 31 January to Monday 6 February 2023.

But viewers were seemingly furious with the show that aired on the day when Matt was interviewed by Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley.

Over 100 viewers contacted the official body to complain about the breakfast broadcast on the 31st January.

This comes after National Television Award winner Kate Garraway appeared emotional as the disgraced Health Secretary appeared on the flagship ITV breakfast show.

She called out the I'm A Celebrity star for his actions and flagged how her husband Derek Draper was left fighting for his life after contracting Covid in 2020.

Derek has since faced many health battles including sepsis.

On Tuesday's ITV show, Kate repeatedly blinked to try to hold her emotions back as she took the lead in the tough interview.

She told viewers how she had repeated contact with the politician during the pandemic, and supported some of the additional measures Matt, 44, had called for.

These included expanding the symptoms list and putting long Covid under a greater spotlight.

The Sun previously  exposed Matt Hancock's breach of his own coronavirus rules, when he conducted an affair with Gina Conadangelo in his ministerial office.

He cheated on his wife with Gina, 43, who he hired in 2020 with taxpayers’ money, as Covid gripped Britain.

The MP and millionaire lobbyist Gina were caught on camera in a steamy clinch at the Department of Health’s London HQ during office hours as the mutant strain began spreading.
