Riding high! It’s Hancock ... the jockey

-

HE surprised viewers with a rendition of an Ed Sheeran song and his awkward ‘dad’ dancing.

And it seems there is no end to Matt Hancock’s talents, as he regaled his Jungle campmates with tales of his stint as a jockey.

Pictures unearthed by the Mail (left) show the MP, 44, atop his horse, punching the air in blue and white silks after winning the Newmarket Horsemen and Heroes Day charity race in 2012 – his first ever competitio­n. He won by two lengths, and the event raised £100,000. Hancock told comic Seann Walsh, 36: ‘Frankie Dettori taught me how to ride.’
