After his stint in the I’m A Celebrity jungle, Matt Hancock is said to be considering a very different type of television when he leaves public office. The former Health Secretary is thought to be planning a series of “serious documentaries” on assisted dying and dyslexia after his time as an MP comes to an end at the next general election.
Mr Hancock’s allies said he thinks he should put his public platform to good use and educate the public about important issues.
This comes less than a week after he announced that he plans to stand down as an MP at the next election.
In his letter to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, he said he had “discovered a whole world of possibilities outside Westminster”.
And The Telegraph reports that he is thought to have received offers from major broadcasters and this has led him to consider a new career presenting documentaries.
Assisted dying is said to be one of the topics he wants to cover because it is thought he is now in favour of it, after supporting a colleague during the pandemic who was terminally ill and wanted to end their own life.
And speaking during a Westminster Hall debate on the issue in Parliament in July he said: “I can speak as a former Health Secretary to say that the medical movement as a whole is changing its view.
“For 50 years we have had a legal choice over who to love, for a decade we have had a legal choice over who we can marry.
“So let’s have an informed debate over when the end is inevitable and when the pain is insufferable, how we die.”

Speaking about his own experience of only being diagnosed with dyslexia, Mr Hancock said: “I know and dyslexics who have that dyslexia identified know that the problem is a specific neurological one of the translation of letters that wobble around slightly on the page into how it sounds in your head.
“It is not that you are bad at languages or stupid in some way, and there are still thousands of children who label themselves that because they do not get the identification they need. This has got to change.”
Mr Hancock finished third in “I’m a Celeb”, after being voted to take part in a raft of bushtucker trials.
