Matt Hancock appears to wear Newcastle shirt he auctioned off for NHS fundraiser

Matt Hancock appears to have worn a signed Newcastle shirt he auctioned for an NHS fundraiser in a TikTok clip ahead of Sunday’s (26 February) Carabao Cup final.

The shirt appears to be one the former health secretary donated to raise money for non-surgical scrubs for NHS workers.

A spokesperson for Mr Hancock told The Independent: “Matt put his signed Newcastle football shirt up for sale as part of Chris Evans’ NHS charity appeal to raise money for scrubs... the person who bought it very kindly gave Matt’s beloved shirt back to him as a gift.”
