UK Prime Minister Avoids Interview By Hiding In A Fridge On Live TV

The Prime Minister of United Kingdom, Boris Johnson hid himself in a refrigerator so as to avoid pressing interview from journalists, on the eve of the general election.

This happened on live television.

The Independent newspaper reports that the prime minister was joining an early morning milk round in Leeds when he was confronted by Good Morning Britain’s Jonathan Swain about his “promise to talk to Piers [Morgan] and Susanna [Reid]”.

In his response, Johnson said he would be with the journalist in a second, while escaping into a large fridge.

In the video that captured the incident, one of the prime minister’s aide mood changed when he spotted the Good morning reporter.

“I’ve known you for 25 years, what is the matter with you?”

“You’ve got no problem doing interviews … why would you rather be looking like you’re a bottle job?” Morgan added.

The aide, Robert Oxley, had to call to the ITV show to lay clarify what happened between him and the reporter.

“Robert Oxley, this poor little shrinking violet who works with Boris Johnson, has rung in,” Morgan told viewers as he clarified his comment.

“He didn’t assault our man, Jonathan Swain. Alright, he didn’t assault him.”

But the presenter also added that “Oxley was extremely obnoxious, very aggressive, foul mouthed and repulsive.”

The Independent also reports that conservative sources have told the Guardian that the prime minister was “categorically not hiding” in the fridge and claimed he was instead being prepped for a different interview.
