Jennifer Arcuri has refused to answer questions over her private relationship with during a TV interview.
In an explosive interview on the US entrepreneur repeatedly dodged direct questions on whether she had an affair with the Prime Minister while he was London mayor.
The former model told ITV’s : “It’s really not anyone’s business what private life we had.”
Arcuri hit the headlines last month after it emerged she was given access to three foreign trade trips and had Johnson speak at four of her events when he was London mayor.
It was also claimed that the two were intimate and that , then mayor, was a regular visitor to her London flat which had a poledancing pole installed as a feature.
Arcuri said the prime minister visited her office and home “five, ten, a handful of times” when he was London mayor and described him as “a really good friend”.
But she repeatedly refused to deny claims that they had a sexual relationship.
She said “yes he saw the pole” and jokingly refused to say if danced on the pole himself.
She said: “I’m never never going to tell you that.”
Arcuri also said the Prime Minister “asked me to show him a few things” on the pole she had in her London home.
Asked if they had an intimate relationship, she told Morgan: “It’s categorically no one’s business what private life we had, or didn’t have.”
Asked again, she snapped at host : “Do you want me to talk about your sex life because I would love to ask you a few questions?”
The businesswoman also denied ever directly asking Johnson for sponsorship money or for access to trade trips abroad.
In a lengthy live TV interview with and Susanna Reid, she said: “Do you think I would waste his time talking about this stuff?”
Arcuri said she used £10,000 given to her firm from London and Partners, the promotional agency run by the Mayor of London, to “produce (an) event” she hosted in 2013.
She said: “I produce good, really sexy, on-point events.”
Johnson has just 24 hours to provide details of their relationship to a probe in the London Assembly whose rules forbid favourable treatment to friends.
Despite the privileged access she received Arcuri insisted “Boris never ever gave me favouritism”.
She said that Johnson had not had anything to do with her other achievements.
She added: “Because the press have made me this objectified pole dancer, I am really not going to answer that question.
“I am not going to be putting myself in a position for you to weaponise my answer. Boris had nothing to do with my other achievements.”
