Matt Hancock has bizarrely denied getting fake hair or teeth veneers after he was spotted in Istanbul.
The sitting MP went on a sightseeing trip to the Turkish city before Parliament returned from its Christmas break.
Unfortunately for him, perhaps thanks to his new-found ‘I’m a Celeb’ status, he was spotted by a TikTok user browsing a street market for clothes.
“Am I bugging or is this Matt Hancock at a fake brand shop in turkey”, the TikTok post said. The caption added: “Matt Hancock is deffo getting a hair transplant.”
The city is popular with some “dental tourists” who go for cosmetic work.

The video gained momentum on the app, where it had more than 5,000 comments and 350,000 likes.
Onlooker Abdul AL-Kadiri, 29, a journalist and filmmaker, said: "I couldn't believe it when I saw him.
"I was looking at him for about two minutes before I realised it actually was him.
"It was so random. He's either there for a hair transplant or to get his teeth done. You don't go to Turkey for a holiday.
"Especially at the moment - it's freezing."
Such was the interest that Mr Hancock decided to take the claims head-on.
“I just got back to the office to find a journalist has called to ask if I went to Istanbul at the weekend to have a hair transplants and veneers,” he said in his own TikTok clip.
“No, I did go to Istanbul at the weekend, but this story has no teeth. It’s hair today, gone tomorrow.”
A spokesman for Mr Hancock insisted he did not buy any knock-off Calvin Kleins.
