THIS MORNING fans were in shock as host Phillip Schofield posed a surprise question to Matt Hancock.
They were left open-mouthed by the presenter's 'savage' dig at the former health secretary on Tuesday's show.
The MP was there to chat about his plans to introduce a dyslexia screening bill, which will call for universal checks on all primary school children.
Matt, 43 – who a few months ago was exposed by The Sun for cheating on his wife with a colleague – was seen bonding with Holly Willoughby over their shared dyslexia challenges.
But as the Tory politician described the importance of the bill and his own struggles with dyslexia, Phil pointedly asked: "Was it your dyslexia that made you misread the social distancing rules?"
To which Matt awkwardly replied: "No, I can't blame that on dyslexia or anything else.
"In fact, I'm not asking for any special favours or anything because I'm dyslexic and in politics I've got some things to offer."
He went on: "In that case, it was a mistake and I've apologised for it and it was a failure of leadership because I came on shows like this and asked people to do this and I didn't follow rules myself."

And viewers were quick to rush to Twitter and react to Phil's bold question.
"The best question Phil has asked for years," said one.
Another added: "Phil you are such a legend #thismorning".
A third added: "Phil really went there #ThisMorning".
One fan commented: "Savage mate. Savage #ThisMorning".
In June, The Sun exclusively revealed the politician had been having a secret affair with his closest aide.
He cheated on his wife with Gina Coladangelo, 43, who he hired last year with taxpayers’ money, as Covid gripped Britain and his infamous clinch with her in his office breached Government rules on contact with others.
To make the interview even more cringe-worthy, Holly then went on to ask how Hancock would be spending his Christmas.
One viewer quipped: "Well he won’t be spending Xmas with his wife and kids that’s for sure!"
