Boris Johnson has said he would happily leave his daughter alone with Donald Trump, as he backs the ex-President in a Channel 4 election special. The former UK PM and Mail columnist clashed with fellow panellist and ex-adult film star Stormy Daniels when she pushed him on whether he would feel comfortable leaving his children alone with the Republican candidate. ‘My experience of Donald Trump is that when I’ve known him… I hear what you say and maybe I’m wrong but he has been courteous, he has been polite,’ Johnson said, before being cut off by Emily Maitlis.

When asked by fellow presenter Emily Maitlis if he still wanted Trump to win, the Mail Columnist joked: ‘Well, as I say in my book Unleashed..’, to which Mr Guru-Murthy interjected saying ‘put it away, stop it, enough’.
