Look out PM! Your ex ‘special friends’ are best buddies...

JUsT when Boris Johnson thought it couldn’t get any worse, as he’s ferociously attacked for his absence during the exams fiasco, two of his reputed former lovers are making common cause.

Petronella Wyatt, 52, has struck up an intriguing friendship with American businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri, 35.

Both women are said to have ‘enjoyed’ four-year relationships with Johnson at separate times during his second marriage, to long-suffering barrister marina Wheeler.

The pair are getting on so well that Petronella, daughter of late journalist and Labour politician Lord (Woodrow) Wyatt, says she ‘can’t wait’ to visit Arcuri in the U.s. when the pandemic is over.

‘she’s a very nice girl,’ Petronella tells me. ‘Jennifer’s very cultured and shares my obsession with the golden age of hollywood and Broadway show tunes.’ so which tunes will they be singing together? Friends speculate that they are considering a joint book about their experiences.

Jennifer has gushed to her publicly online: ‘What a wonderful friend you are. Thank you for sharing your amazing mind and stories with me. I look forward to our next adventures.’

Boris began his affair with Petronella when he was editor of The spectator and she was his deputy. he had promised to leave his wife for her. The affair resulted in a miscarriage and an abortion. Boris was fired from his shadow cabinet post in 2004, by then Tory leader michael howard, for lying about the relationship, as he had initially categorically denied it.

earlier this month, Petronella publicly mocked the Prime minister over his holiday plans with his fiancee, carrie symonds and their threemonth-old son, Wilfred.

‘Boris and carrie are going to spend part of their scottish holiday camping,’ Petronella told friends online. ‘That will finish off their relationship. Boris can’t cook and carrie only likes luxe private villas in hot places.’

carrie’s previous holiday with Boris was a trip to the caribbean last winter. The £15,000 jaunt caused controversy because of mystery over who paid for it.
