The photos were taken from a security camera and appear to be from inside his office where he regularly makes Zoom appearances to the country. This excuse is unlikely to be enough for Hancock, whose job was already in question due to a string of scandals surrounding his performance in the job as Health Secretary during the Covid-19 pandemic. Martha Hancock, born Martha Hoyer Millar, is an osteopath who generally likes to stay away from the public eye in general. However, she does come from a well-known family with her grandfather Frederick Miller being the 1st Baron Inchyra and a British diplomat who served as ambassador to West Germany in 1955. Matt and Martha Hancock have three children, with the youngest being born in 2013. Hancock has openly supported flexible paternity leave for fathers  and decided to delay his own leave until there was a parliamentary recess so he could spend a prolonged period of time with his newborn child. The couple live in Little Thurlow in Matt Hancocks West Suffolk constituency but they also have a residence in London so the health secretary can balance his parliamentary work with his constituency work and family commitments. Matt and Martha Hancock have been married some 15 years after tying the knot in 2006. The health secretary recently hired Gina Coladangelo to his parliamentary office with the pair knowing each other since their Oxford days with the pair graduating the same year in 2008.
