Boris Johnson is to be interviewed on Good Morning Britain for the first time in almost five years.
The Prime Minister was last interviewed on the ITV breakfast show in 2017 when he was foreign secretary - and famously hid in a fridge to avoid GMB questions in 2019. During this morning's show, presenter Kate Garraway revealed Susanna Reid, 51, will be interviewing Johnson live from 10 Downing Street on May 3.
The interview will air on Good Morning Britain tomorrow, marking the Prime Minister's first official appearance on the ITV show in almost five years. Johnson fleetingly featured on the show in December 2019 when he walked away from cameras and appeared to hide in an industrial fridge in order to avoid engaging in an interview.

Piers Morgan, who presented Good Morning Britain at the time of the incident, responded to the news of Johnson's return to the programme, tweeting: "He's out of the fridge! If you're doing the rounds @BorisJohnson - you know where to find me."
Susanna and former host Piers Morgan regularly accused him of snubbing the show, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic where the Government abstained from appearing on it for 201 days.
In October last year, during the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, attempts were once again made to get the Prime Minister to appear on the breakfast show. Presenter Ranvir Singh attempted to engage with Johnson and invited him to speak on the show but she was met with a raised hand as the Prime Minister walked off.
Good Morning Britain airs on weekdays on ITV from 6am.
