BoJo’s former mistress Petronella Wyatt has claimed he is a “loner” who once moaned that “men should not be confined to one woman”.
She has previously written about how the larger-than-life ladies’ man is “inordinately proud of his Turkish ancestry” and claimed his “views on matters such as monogamy are decidedly Eastern”.
Petronella added that Boris will do “anything to avoid an argument” which often results in him lying to his loved ones.
Despite his alleged success with women, she claims Boris is not vain and “regards himself as rather ugly” relying on his charm to seduce the opposite sex.
