MATT Hancock is claiming an extra £13,200 a year in expenses from the taxpayer to rent a love nest after quitting his marital home.
The former Health Secretary has been claiming £3300 a month for a property in London since September, shortly before he earned £320,000 for appearing on TV reality show, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.
Mr Hancock's expenses claim is now 50 per cent more than his previous one for a house in his constituency.
It comes as a register of MP's interests shows he has earned more than £440,000 in a year in addition to his £84,144 MP's salary.
Hancock's lover Gina Coladangelo and her estranged husband Oliver Tress sold their London home for £7.5million at the start of the year.
She was spotted shopping for household items with Hancock in a Homebase store around the time he switched his expenses claim to London.
It sparked speculation the pair were living together but Hancock's spokesman refused to comment. He said at the time: "Everything is declared properly.
