A Cardiff University graduate who worked as one of Boris Johnson's aides has described her role in "nannying" the needy PM during the pandemic. Cleo Watson, who went to Haberdashers' Monmouth School for girl, worked in Downing Street from 2019 to 2020 and given a scathing insight into life with Mr Johnson behind the scenes.
Writing for society magazine Tatler she claims staff had to barricade the Prime Minister inside his office with a "puppy gate" to stop him leaving the room while isolating after he was 'pinged'.
A former Vote Leave campaigner, Ms Watson was bought into Number 10 by Dominic Cummings and left shortly after his departure in November 2020. She was regularly pictured accompanying him into Downing Street in pictures that earned her the nickname "the gazelle".
