Matt Hancock has shared a video on social media of him ironing a shirt in a bid to “de-crease the number of comments” he gets about them.
The former health secretary has used his TikTok account to post videos of himself in a variety of different situations, including weighing in on American politics and whether there are more wheels or doors in the world.
He shared his latest video on Sunday to his 172,000 followers, receiving more than a quarter of a million views.
In the TikTok clip, Hancock responds to comments he has received, captioning the video: “Hoping to de-crease the number of comments I get about my unironed shirts... Now on to some other pressing issues.”

He goes on to then iron a white shirt.
The former Tory MP has faced continued criticism following his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, and subsequent public appearances.
Hancock was forced to resign as health secretary after leaked CCTV footage showed him breaching his own Covid-19 guidance by kissing his assistant Gina Coladangelo.
He went on to controversially appear on reality show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, telling ITV’s Good Morning Britain he did not “primarily” go into the jungle for the money as he insisted the three per cent of his £320,000 fee he donated to charity was substantial.
"I did absolutely give some of the money to charity.

“I didn’t primarily do it (go on the reality show) for the money, I primarily did it to try to show who I am.”
Mr Hancock insisted his £10,000 donation was a “decent sum” and was “more than my MPs salary”.
He did concede that “of course there was a discussion and negotiation over the fee”.
After leaving I’m A Celebrity, Mr Hancock announced that he would not be standing for the Conservatives at the next general election.
