The Tory former Health Secretary also plans to appear on Celebrity: SAS Who Dares Wins later this year

Matt Hancock has sparked controversy once again after setting up his own TV company to pave the way for a lucrative broadcasting career.

Many were swift to brand the move as distasteful, with Labour MP Richard Burgan declaring it damaging to democracy. Mr Burgan is currently campaigning for a bill which would ban MPs from having a second job. Mr Burgan told the Sunday People: "Matt Hancock is another example of an MP chasing corporate cash when he should be serving his constituents. This is exactly the kind of thing that helps to breed cynicism in our politics, it shortchanges the public and it damages democracy.

Hancock previously announced his plans to quit as an MP for West Suffolk after the next general election. He set up Greenhazel Ltd on January 5 and is listed as the sole officer of the company.
