Matt Hancock has been snapped splashing about on a beach holiday in the same spot as his wife and kids, after leaving married life for his mistress.
The former Health Secretary was forced to quit the Cabinet in June after footage emerged of him in a passionate clinch with married Gina Colandangelo, 44, in his office.
Mr Hancock, 42, packed up and left his family home in the wake of the exposé amid public outrage over the breach of social distancing rules.
He reportedly split from long-time wife Martha Hancock to begin a new relationship with married Ms Colandangelo, his former aide.
Now, the Tory backbencher has been pictured enjoying a seaside holiday in Cornwall, where he was seen in the same resort as Mrs Hancock and their three children, according to the Mail Online.
Mrs Hancock, 44, was spotted separately at the resort, and photographed still wearing her wedding ring.
Mr Hancock could be seen body-boarding at the beach, and granting requests for selfies in town as he roamed around Pentireglaze Haven this week.
Dressed in his swimming shorts, a shirt and Crocs, the former Health Secretary was seen obligingly granting requests for selfies from other holidaymakers and toting a Spar shopping bag about.
He was also pictured rock-pooling with his children at the beach on Friday, where he splashed around in the surf.
The holiday comes just two months after Mr Hancock was pictured packing boxes, suitcases, and bags into his car outside his marital home.
He reportedly left his wife for new love, Ms Colandangelo, who is married to Oliver Bonas fashion boss, Oliver Tress, 54.
The pair have three children together.

Mr Hancock and Ms Colandangelo's affair sparked accusations of hypocrisy as leaked CCTV footage of the pair's clinch in his Whitehall office broke the same social distancing rules he was ordering Brits to follow.
Critics also questioned Ms Colandangelo's appointment, after it emerged she and Mr Hancock had been close pals during their Oxford University years.
She had been appointed non-executive director within the Department of Health last year.
Reports earlier this month claimed Mr Hancock and Ms Colandangelo are living apart at present but are "very much together".
A pal told the Mail on Sunday : "He is still very much together with Gina, but they are physically apart because of the intense media interest."
The pair are said to be eager to start their new relationship together in private so they can rebuild their lives following the scandal.
Mr Hancock's resignation sparked a Cabinet reshuffle, with Sajid Javid replacing him as Health Secretary.
