Businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri has discussed alleged details of her affair with Boris Johnson for the first time.
Ms Arcuri, 35, claimed the romance lasted from 2012 to 2016 when he was the Mayor of London and still married to his ex wife Marina, the mother of his four children. She claimed the pair met up once a week and slept together at a flat where she had a pole dancer’s pole.
She told the Sunday Mirror that she “loved” and “adored” the Prime Minister, 56, and used to send him arty and topless pictures.
Ms Arcuri said hey first had sex at her flat in London – hours before Mr Johnson sat between Marina and Princess Anne at the opening of the 2012 London Paralympics. She also claimed the PM dismissed concerns about the pair kissing in public, when he told her: “This is my city, I don’t care.”
She says he loved her body and mind and “couldn’t keep his hands off me” on their first romantic liaison.
A political storm was sparked two years ago when it was revealed Ms Arcuri was allowed on three taxpayer-funded trade missions led by the PM as claims of their affair first emerged, An investigation into the trips cleared Mr Johnson of any wrongdoing.
Ms Arcuri claims she was invited on trade trips as a member of the London tech-scene “ecosystem” and said Mr Johnson was a “cowardly wet noodle” for not standing by her in the row.
