Have I Got News For You Rips Into Jeremy Hunt

Turns out the Health Secretary is a rather big fan... of himself.

And in fine form as Nick Clegg reminded everyone he existed by being genuinely hilarious in an endearingly self-deprecating manner.

Kinda crushing on nick clegg on #HIGNFY

One of the biggest laughs of the night undoubtedly went to a section tearing apart Jeremy Hunt’s speech earlier this week at the Conservative Party Conference.

Turns out the Health Secretary is a rather big fan... of himself.

That’s right, he applauded himself. At least three times.

Of course that wasn’t the only embarrassing thing that happened to Hunt that day.

One photographer - perhaps on purpose, perhaps not - managed to take this photo.

This is something that has dogged Hunt throughout his career.

James Naughtie infamously introduced Hunt as “Jeremy C*nt” live on The Today Programme in 2010. Hunt laughed it off and later called it his “most memorable interview ever”.

Other politicians have also suffered much worse fates when it comes to awkwardly posed photos, as Nigel Farage can attest.
