‘Favour’ got PM free hols
INSIDE sources say businessman David Ross allegedly called in a favour to let Boris Johnson and girlfriend Carrie Symonds stay free at a £3,400-a-day villa in the Caribbean.
The PM paid nothing because holidaymakers who cancelled their stay at the villa on the island of Mustique had paid the bill.
It’s understood the PM said he badly needed a break so the phone tycoon contacted a firm which lets villas on the island, including his own.

VICTORIA SARNE THE FORMER EMPLOYEE OF ACCUSED NYGARD
Nygard’s home in Bahamas
PRINCE Andrew’s association with two billionaires accused of raping teenagers has led the British personal assistant of one to question the royal’s morality.
Canadian Peter Nygard, 78, was last week accused in a class action lawsuit in the US of sexually assaulting 10 girls.
The accusations were made six months after Andrew’s pal, paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, 66, killed himself as he awaited trial for underage trafficking.
London-born Victoria Sarne has told how the life of her ex-boss Nygard often mirrored that of the US financier Epstein.
She said during her time as his former PA in the 1990s she saw “countless” girls arriving at his offices in Toronto, LA and the Bahamas before they were taken to his private quarters.
Victoria, 79, said: “He’d attach his homes to his offices, often with a glass elevator. His private spaces were all fitted with mirrors. There were no door handles. They seemed impossible to get out of.
“Peter monitored everything with close circuit TV.
“Everyone could be watched. It didn’t matter who you were... a Hollywood star, a sporting icon or from the Royal Family, Peter could see and record their every move.
JUDGMENT
“He was sleazy. Like Epstein, he courted anyone in power or who had great fame. They may as well have been brothers.”
Victoria said she believed the two men never associated with each other. She added: “I never met the prince, but it seems Andrew likes the company of such rich men.
“It raises serious questions about his judgment on the company he keeps.”
Nygard was accused in a New York court of plying girls with booze and drugs before they were raped and sexually assaulted between 2008 and 2015. Three of the claimants were 14 years old at the time. Three others were 15 years old.
The fashion mogul, who has vehemently denied the allegations, hosted Andrew at his home in the Bahamas in 2000.
There is no suggestion the Duke, 59, knew of Nygard’s alleged criminality. No criminal charges are associated with any allegations against Nygard.
Andrew was one of many famous names, including Robert De Niro and actresses Pamela Anderson and Suelyn Medeiros, pictured with Nygard.
Last year the prince stepped down from royal duties.
When approached about Nygard, a spokeswoman for Buckingham Palace said: “It is not something we are offering comment or guidance on.”
