Moment woman tells Boris Johnson her son could be his 'love child' - and PM is not impressed

This is the moment a woman told Boris Johnson that her son could be his "love child”.

Footage from the BBC documentary The Brexit Storm Continues: Laura Kuenssberg's Inside Story showed the awkward encounter from when the Prime Minister was on the campaign trail in Yorkshire.

The show followed Mr Johnson on his journey from becoming Conservative leader to winning the keys to Number 10 after crushing Labour at the ballot box last week.

Part way through the show, a clip from a walkabout in Morley, Leeds, showed Mr Johnson chatting with people and taking photos.

One woman takes out her phone and shows the Prime Minister a photo of her son.

The mystery mother says: “My son looks remarkably like you, I'd just like you to look.

“Looks like it could be your love child.”

Mr Johnson does not look impressed with the quip, and simply replies “thank you.”

Viewers shared their amusement at the moment on social media.

Earlier this year, Mr Johnson refused to say how many children he had when quizzed on LBC.

He has four children with his estranged wife Marina Wheeler and a daughter from an extra-marital affair,

Mr Johnson lives in Downing Street with his partner, Carrie Symonds.
