With news of the Prime Minister stepping down from power, bookmakers are already speculating that Johnson is now an odds-on favourite to appear on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
The beleaguered soon-to-be former Prime Minister will be looking for a new job and a new life after the stresses of holding the highest office in the land. Lots would agree that a month down-under, living in a hammock and being forced to eat creepy crawlies, could be a significant life improvement for the embattled Johnson.
Ladbrokes certainly believes so, with the bookmakers giving the PM 33/1 odds of appearing on the show in the next five years. Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Get Me Out of Here! is something Boris is currently saying in relation to Number 10, and the latest odds suggest he might soon be taking Ant and Dec up on their offer of a spot Down Under."
Long-term viewers of I'm A Celeb will know that the hosts Ant and Dec's nightly roasting of the Prime Minister during the Partygate scandal could make a Boris appearance on the show awkward. However, as the Prime Minister's rise to fame was boosted by hosting hypercritical Have I Got News for You, he does have form for making left-field media appearances.
In fact, Johnson would be following in familiar footsteps, with his father appearing on the ITV show in 2017 and his close ally Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries appearing in 2012. Perhaps they can persuade him to give the show a go at his leaving drinks.
