Send us your questions for Facebook Live Q&A about Boris Johnson's affair

The Sunday Mirror today exposed Boris Johnson's affair with businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri - and why the revelation is so important.

Investigations editor Geraldine McKelvie interviewed Jennifer, who made some startling revelations about her four-year relationship with Mr Johnson while he was Mayor of London.

To help our readers make sense of it all, Geraldine will be explaining the implications of the story at 2.30pm tomorrow on the Daily Mirror's Facebook page.

She'll be chatting to our Political Editor Pippa Crerar about what this means for the PM, the ongoing investigation into his behaviour while London Mayor and if it will affect what voters think of him.

If you have a question about the story, post it in the comments section below.

A Greater London Authority investigation is underway to find out if she was given "preferential treatment”.

In the interview, Jennifer reveals 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.

Lifting the lid on the affair she says:

  • Boris wined and dined her openly at a London restaurant, telling her: “I want to date you, you’re the only American I’ve ever fancied.”
  • They first had sex in her Shoreditch flat hours before he sat between Marina and Princess Anne at the opening of the 2012 London Paralympics.
  • Before he dashed off to the ceremony she had to hunt for a sock he lost in the throes of passion.
  • He requested racy images of her and said one raunchy picture was “enough to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window”.
  • They exchanged sexual messages, sometimes while he was on mayoral duty.
  • He had to borrow £3.10 on their first date and later shrugged off concerns about kissing in public, saying: “This is my city, I don’t care.”
