Jennifer Arcuri just gave her first TV interview – our favourite 7 things people said about it

John Plunkett. Updated October 7th, 2019

Jennifer Arcuri has just given her first TV interview – to ITV’s Good Morning Britain – and refused to deny she had an affair with so-called PM Boris Johnson when he was Mayor of London.

Arcuri told Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid that she ‘categorically’ rejected any suggestion of impropriety, after suggestions that Johnson secured her public funds to the tune of £126,000 because of their personal relationship.

Repeatedly pressed on whether she had an intimate relationship with Johnson, here’s what she had to say.

‘I am really not going to answer that question. I am being used as a pawn. This entire thing is a crazy charade. Boris had nothing to do with my achievements.’

We watched it – well, a bit of it – so you didn’t have to and here are our favourite 7 things people said about it.

If you’re given the opportunity to deny having sex with Boris Johnson and you don’t immediately make gagging noises and attempt to assault the interviewer I’d say there’s a good chance you did have sex with Boris Johnson https://t.co/WXd8DOs2Wl

Ten points to anyone who can explain how the answer “No, I didn’t have an affair with Boris” could be weaponised against him

I don’t mind if GMB have paid for this interview which they most certainly have, but I definitely think Piers should say “Jennifer, we’ve paid £XXXXX for this, were you having an affair with him or not?”

Someone also noticed she looked vaguely familiar, and now they’ve pointed it out, yes.

Separate, but related, was this.

To conclude …

"And I said I don't want our relationship weaponised, didn't I? What did I say, Roy?"
