Loose Women's Andrea McLean makes savage joke about Boris Johnson's unborn baby

Loose Women 's Andrea McLean made a savage joke about Boris Johnson and his unborn baby.

On today's show, she discussed the news that the Prime Minister is expecting his first child with fiancée Carrie Symonds.

But she couldn't help but joke about Boris' reluctance to disclose his exact number of offspring.

Boris has four children with his ex-wife Marina Wheeler, and it's believed he has at least two more.

As Loose Women kicked off today, Andrea said: "Onto our first topic of the day, it's the news that the Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his partner Carrie Symonds are engaged and expecting their first child.

"Carrie announced the news on her private Instagram , saying that 'we have got a baby hatching early summer. Feel incredibly blessed'."

Taking a dig, Andrea said: "This will be Boris' third marriage and sixth child... that we know of, and we know he's not always been the most faithful of partners.

"Do you think he's a changed man, Jane?"

Jane burst out laughing as the question was put to her.

She responded: "Well we can hope, can't we?"

She added: "I think people have forgiven Boris a lot of stuff and have voted him in despite his colourful past, but that's a different thing to what you would tolerate once they're in public office as Prime Minister of the country, you've got to lead by example, so I rather hope that this is it now."

Carol got a little confused over the "hatching" metaphor, while Denise couldn't understand how the number of Boris' offspring is not officially known.

The Geordie actress said: "The fact is that Boris Johnson refuses to admits to how many children he has. When he's asked the question he refuses to answer and I think that's wrong in a party that is instilling family values.

"It doesn't matter who they are, but I think, how many children have you got Boris? It's hardly a difficult question."

The discussion sparked lots of debate, with some people on social media saying that didn't care about the story, while others defended Boris.

One wrote: "Who cares boris has ex wives and kids, making out it’s wrong when it sums up over half the country! He might be PM he’s also human"

Another tweeted: "I don’t think it’s anyone’s business how many children Boris has !"

* Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV
