It's not about the affair per se. No-one (apart from the families invovled) really gives a shit about that nowadays.
It's about an affair taking place in early May at a time when stricter social distancing guidelines were in force. Where Hancock was spouting the "Everyone follow the rules" lines and had previously said that Prof Neil Ferguson was right to resign because of his affair that broke social distancing guidelines.
Separately there's a question of how proper the appointment was way back when. The Times were shouting about it last year: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/matt-hancock-gave-key-covid-role-to-lobbyist-pal-tppg75t5c
