MATT Hancock was furiously heckled by a theatre goer as he watched Seann Walsh’s comedy gig.
The Suffolk West MP, who announced he would step down at the next General Election, was left shaken after the incident which saw the heckler storm out of London’s Soho Theatre on Thursday night.
The unidentified man interrupted Seann’s set after he revealed his I’m A Celebrity co-star was in the audience alongside his girlfriend Gina Colangelo and Boy George.
As Seann, 37, told the audience: “Can make more noise than that. Matt Hancock is here tonight,” the man stood up and shouted back: “What is that w****r doing here?”
Seann attempted to continue with his set and made some jokes at Matt’s expense, adding: “You b*****ds.
“You let Matt get further than me. What is wrong with you? Unbelievable.”

“It is not a comedy.”
An audience member told The Sun Matt, 44, tried to shrug off the incident but appeared shaken.
They said: “It was a mortifying moment for Matt and Gina.
“Although Matt barely moved when it was happening he looked a bit shocked and shaken.
“It was clearly not what he was expecting and obviously it was not very nice to have someone shouting about him when he is out with Gina.”
Seann continued his set and said he was horrified by what had happened.
Seann added: "He is absolutely furious. I cannot believe this.
“Oh my God, Matt. I am going to go to a different bar after the gig. It is just some comedy, relax people.
“That was the most awkward moment I have ever experienced in my life.
“Boy George is here as well. I should have opened with that. My mistake.
“For the next hour please…then we will all go home. No-one stab Matt, okay? It is important.”
