Matt Hancock has been spotted browsing for clothes at a stall at a bazaar in Turkey.

The former health secretary was identified and video of him browsing for clothes was posted on TikTok with the caption: “Am I bugging or is this Matt Hancock at a fake brand shop in Turkey?”

The clip, recorded on Sunday, was filmed by Abdul al-Kadiri, who joked Mr Hancock was ‘either there for a hair transplant or to get his teeth done.”

He posted jokingly online: "I bet you £100,000,000 Matt Hancock is getting a hair transplant"

“You don’t go to Turkey for a holiday, Mr al-Kadiri said, adding: “Especially at the moment – it’s freezing.”

After the joke took hold on social media, Mr Hancock issued his own TikTok clip to deny that he was in the country for a hair transplant and to have work done on his teeth.

In the clip, Matt says: “I just got back to the office to find a journalist has called to ask if I went to Istanbul at the weekend to have hair transplants and veneers.

“No. I did go to Istanbul at the weekend but this story has no teeth.”
