MATT Hancock’s wife Martha has been battling long Covid after catching it from her husband before his affair was exposed, according to reports.
She had thought their marriage was “happy and stable” and was even Facebook friends with her husband’s lover, it emerged last night.
Hancock was seen kissing her in video footage at the Department of Health’s London HQ during office hours last month as the mutant strain began spreading.
The disgraced former Health Secretary, 42, resigned on Saturday after The Sun revealed his affair with aide Gina Coladangelo, 43.
Martha, 44, had no idea that her husband of 15 years was having an affair until he broke the news on Thursday night and announced their marriage was over.
The Sunday Times reported that she had been suffering from long Covid, believed to be a result of her catching the virus from her husband.
