Carol Vorderman was pictured with Matt Hancock at the Cheltenham races months after slamming his I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! appearance and calling him a “c**k”.
The former Countdown presenter was seen chatting to Hancock on the balcony of a hospitality suite at the Cheltenham Festival this week.
The duo were spotted together months after Vorderman joked about Hancock’s TV appearance.
“Well I’m on my way into the This Morning studio again to talk about Boy George with Boy George’s manager and to talk about the arrival about Seann Walsh and Matt Hancock,” Vorderman said in a video posted to her Twitter in November.
“Apparently, to say his name properly the ‘Han’ is silent. Who knew?” she added.
She captioned her tweet: “Practising saying Matt Hancock correctly.... apparently the Han in Han-Cock is silent.”
Hancock received plenty of criticism for his appearance on I’m A Celebrity.

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield cracked up laughing at a photo posted by Grant Shapps that appears to have airbrushed out Boris Johnson.
Posting on Twitter this week, business secretary Shapps shared an image showing him and two officials in front of a Virgin rocket at the spaceport in Newquay, Cornwall.
However, eagle-eyed Twitter users noticed that the former prime minister had featured in the original photo, which was taken in June 2021, but appeared to have been photoshopped out of the image.
Shapps has since deleted the tweet, with a source telling The Guardian that he hadn’t been aware the image had been edited when he posted it.
“Obviously he wouldn’t endorse anyone rewriting history by removing the former Pm from a picture,” they said, adding that Shapps was “proud to serve in Boris’s government”.
The two images were shown one after another on Wednesday’s episode (11 January) of This Morning,...

“I’m in a lot of meetings now, where people tell me, ‘This will never get on because it’s not woke enough,’” Ash Atalla, award-winning comedy producer of hits including The Office and The It Crowd, told a spirited panel at the Edinburgh TV Festival assembled to discuss the question of how TV makers can properly represent diverse Britain in all its forms.
“I’m amazed how fast the white people have thought, ‘We can’t get on television,’” he continued. “That’s come in hard and fast in the last two years, and it’s a bewildering experience to be in those meetings after 15 years of the opposite. Now white people think there’s no place for them.”
He added that even having the discussion publicly is increasingly challenging for people, through fear of being castigated or cancelled.

Ukip has asked the police to investigate the BBC over remarks about Nigel Farage on last week's Have I Got News for You.
Officials are concerned that comments from journalist Camilla Long may hurt the leader's chances in the General Election, according to ITV News.
Last Friday (April 24), Long defended an article she wrote in which she criticised Farage's Kent constituency of South Thanet.
"I went there more than Nigel Farage," she joked. "By the time I arrived there he'd only been a few times."
Her comments upset Ukip advisors, who claimed that they were inaccurate and that the BBC had breached the Representation of the People Act.
However, Kent Police have said that they will not open an investigation.
"The matter has been reviewed by officers but there's no evidence of any offences and there will be no further action," a spokesperson said.

Jim Davidson and Katie Hopkins will take part in the latest edition of Channel 5's series of live controversial debates.
Tonight's show - The Big 'Can't Pay' Debt Debate: Live - will be hosted by Nick Ferrari and focus on the debt faced by families, who is to blame and how members of the public feel about the issue.
Davidson, who was previously declared bankrupt, will appear on the show alongside former footballer Lee Hendrie and Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards, both of whom have struggled with financial problems.
Meanwhile, Hopkins will appear on the show alongside Liz Jones, Rosie Millard, Labour MP Paul Blomfield and the head of the British Bankers Association Anthony Browne.

"Too much time has been spent on what the facts are..."
That stonking Katie Hopkins line came towards the end of the eyeball-scratchingly painful two-hour slog that was The Big British Immigration Row.
It neatly summed up the pointlessness and vile nature of Channel 5's live TV talk show, which it laughably billed as "a timely and robust contribution to this vital national debate".
Hot off the 'success' of the equally tiresome Big British Benefits Row (Why is everything always big? And why is it always a row?), this follow-up was guilty of being even more preposterous, even more ugly and with an extra hour tagged on it, even more boring.
Like walking into a pub and listening to a selection of drunkards furiously debating, 'What came first - the chicken or the egg?', it was flabbergastingly vapid and bewilderingly bad in equal measure. Not that Channel 5 seems to care.

Ok, it's not very festive, I admit, but it is topical… On Tuesday morning, Radio 4 took a sober look at paedophilia in the UK in Analysing the Sex Offender. Susie Orbach, an intelligent and engaging presenter as well as an impressive psychoanalyst in her own right, talked to experts and… well, just experts. What she discovered was interesting, if utterly appalling. Here are some stats to ruin your cornflakes. Around 10% of children are sexually abused, with girls around twice as likely as boys to be victims. Predatory paedophiles such as Jimmy Savile are rare compared with the offender who abuses one or two children, within the bounds of his family or friends,...

Heather will take part in the upcoming series which launches this Sunday night and Bracken admitted that she is struggling with some of the moves.
He told Lbc radio’s Nick Ferrari: “I’ve been helping her with a few turns.
“The challenge is she can really only go one way round as a lot of the weight goes on the inside leg.
“She’s had blisters and lots of pain, but she’s a very, very determined lady.
“I found it hard enough on two legs at first, so full credit to her for what she is attempting.
“But you wonder how far she can progress.”
