Boris Johnson pictured for first time since Jennifer Arcuri revealed details of affair

Boris Johnson has been pictured for the first time since Jennifer Arcuri revealed details of their affair.

Jennifer has spoken exclusively with the Sunday Mirror, alleging she had a four-year relationship with Boris Johnson while he was Mayor of London.

The Prime Minister has since been photographed in the back of a car, with a mask on and what appears to be a serious expression.

He was said to be driven from Buckingham Palace after his morning exercise.

No.10 has yet to comment on Jennifer's claims.

Jennifer says her romance with Mr Johnson lasted from 2012 to 2016.

It was his second term of office as Mayor of London and he was married to now ex-wife Marina, mother of their four children.

Jennifer says they met up once a week at the height of the affair, she sent arty topless pictures and admits: “I loved him. I adored him.”

Jennifer told of a mutual “physical and intellectual attraction”.

They shared a love of Shakespeare, she codenamed him Alexander the Great, and she says he loved her body and mind and “couldn’t keep his hands off me” on their first tryst.

But ultimately, she says, he was a “cowardly wet noodle” for not standing by her in the row over her presence on foreign trade trips.

Jennifer's revelations raise questions over public cash and whether Boris breached a code of conduct.

The Greater London Authority probe will examine whether he breached the Nolan Principles of Public Life.

It will examine whether he behaved with “honesty and integrity”, whether Jennifer was given “preferential treatment” and if there was any conflict of interest which should have been declared.

Boris spoke at a series of technology events organised by Jennifer, who went on to receive £126,000 of taxpayer money in event sponsorships and grants. The bulk, £100,000, came in a government grant in 2019.

Jennifer maintains she was invited on trade trips in her own right as a member of the London tech-scene “ecosystem”.
