Jennifer Arcuri says Prime Minister Boris Johnson requested raunchy photos and exchanged sexual messages while he was on mayoral duties.
The American businesswoman says she had an affair with Boris – who was Mayor of London at the time – between 2012 and 2016, in a bombshell interview with the Sunday Mirror.
It was his second term of office and the PM was married to his now ex-wife Marina, mother of their four children.
Jennifer says the now-PM once quoted Raymond Chandler after she sent him an intimate photo and flooded her with compliments.
She says the pair met regularly over the four years - and that they first had sex at her flat in Shoreditch before he dashed off to the 2012 Paralympics Opening ceremony.

She once sent an “arty” picture of her topless – which she says Boris described as “enough to make a bishop kick through a stained-glass window”.
The quote is from the novel 'Farewell, My Lovely' by Raymond Chandler, who is introducing a blonde woman who inspires vandalism.
The PM also used the line in his comic political thriller 'Seventy-Two Virgins: A Comedy of Errors' to describe an attractive female bottom.
She said: “That was one of my really very sexy photos. I had some topless ones I took by a fireplace. You don’t see me topless, but you see the silhouette of my breast. It’s a pin-up kind of look. I went to the polo and I won a photoshoot. “
"That’s when I did other photos for him – vignette, black and white, totally tasteful, topless. One of the guys who did all my tech events asked to do a photoshoot with me.
"That’s where the photo with the pearls and the fur coat in the stairwell, that’s where that came from. When I did a shoot, he might say I’m desperate, or I miss you, and I’d respond with a photo."
The pair first faced a series of questions after it was revealed that Jennifer travelled on three taxpayer-funded foreign trade trips led by Boris, 56.
He also 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.
Jennifer said the pair recited Shakespeare together, including Sonnet 29 which begins: “When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes...”
She added: “He’d say, ‘You are the most beautiful woman, I can’t stop thinking about you, but I love hearing what you have to say. Of course I love your body, and your face, and your breasts, but you are a very clever woman and I feel so honoured you would have me in your life’.
“I did whatever I could find to convince myself I wasn’t falling for this man but, on some level, I knew.”
