Former health secretary Matt Hancock was spotted browsing shops in an Oxfordshire town this weekend.
Locals couldn’t believe their eyes as the MP sauntered along the street in Witney.
WRFM radio presenter Helen Keen, who is a Thames Valley community police officer, saw him and called out to him.
He stopped and posed for a selfie and when asked what he was doing he said "some shopping in High Street".

Mr Hancock studied at Exeter College, Oxford in the late 90s and was spotted bopping until 2am at Oxford's Atik nightclub following a student reunion in 2022.
It was also rumoured he and his former aide Gina Coladangelo enjoyed a taxpayer-funded stay at the four-star Courtyard by Marriott hotel at Oxford Castle during the G7 health summit in Oxford in 2021.
Mr Hancock was forced to quit the cabinet when the couple were caught kissing in breach of Covid rules.
At the time staff at the hotel told the Oxford Mail: "We are not allowed to say anything about Matt Hancock. All of our staff have been told to say no comment."
