Matt Hancock told he was ‘very good at lying’ by SAS officers during the Who Dares Wins final
Matt Hancock was told by SAS officers that he is ‘very good at lying’ during the Celebrity Who Dares Wins final on Sunday.
The final five competitors took part in a ‘resistance to interrogation’ challenge – an important stage of SAS selection.
They were subjected to punishing interrogation techniques by a specialist team, including being held in extreme stress positions, while using a cover story.
Matt provided an extensive backstory that prompted the referee to say, “The reality is he’s a very good liar.”
The former health minister, 45, later said: ‘Interrogation is just part of my day-to-day job.

“And maybe I’m coming off completely, but I’ve been questioned in the most aggressive way by people who were completely unreasonable. Have you met Piers Morgan?’
After Matt’s intense interrogation, Matt was kept in an extreme stress position due to his ‘arrogance’ towards the interrogator.
The interrogator told Hancock that he had turned him on with his lies and said: ‘If you are arrogant you will be punished, you stupid wiener’
Before pouring a bucket of cold water on Matt, he added: “You fucking look down your nose at people like me with contempt. You have no power here, my family tree friend.”
Gareth Gates broke down in tears as he successfully completed the Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins training during Sunday’s show.
The 39-year-old singer beat fellow recruits Matt and Danielle Lloyd, 39, after the other 16 celebrities failed to make the final.
Lead Instructor Billy Billingham MBE QCB and his team of Directing Staff (DS), Foxy (Jason Fox), Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver decided that Gareth was the only celebrity who had the mental and physical strength and resilience to pass the course.
After his name was announced, Gareth became shocked and said: ‘Thank you, staff. Wow. Thank you.’
Matt provided an extensive backstory that prompted the referee to say, “The reality is he’s a very good liar.”
Brutal: Former secretary who cheated on his wife was verbally abused by SAS veterans on TV
Matt was previously questioned by SAS veterans on a reality TV program about his handling of the pandemic, with the former soldiers saying they questioned him ‘for the nation’.
Lead instructor Mark Billingham said his colleagues on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins wanted to ask him about his decision-making in politics and cheating on his wife with his assistant.
The program features another instructor Chris Oliver fuming at him in the interrogation room: ‘You’re thinking ‘f*** this, I’m going to get a bit of it. I’m going to break the rules here, I’m going to break the rules on a number of occasions.’ From the moment I sat on this side of the table, that’s exactly how it went.’
Matt says he was ‘very careful’ not to break the law, but admits he hadn’t thought about the government issuing guidance at the time.
Jason Fox then berates him: “If we give out a set of orders, we damn well live by them.”
Matt has since opened up about his ‘unpleasant’ experience on Celebrity SAS ahead of the series finale.
It’s his second appearance on reality TV after appearing on the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! final in 2022.
Hancock has once again completed the full competition and will appear in the seventh and final episode of the reality quasi-military training show in Vietnam this Sunday.

In the tough finale, called INTERROGATION, the celebrities must undergo the final physical and mental test as they feel weak from the rigors of the show.
Ahead of the finale, the MP opened up about the challenges of filming the show last year.
He said: ‘It really was one of the hardest things I have ever done and a very unpleasant experience.
“The only way to get through it was to keep the same attitude I had throughout the course, to just hang around for a few more minutes, even if the interrogators tried to rush me.”
