With less than a week before the general election, Boris Johnson has today appeared on This Morning to again put forward his case to the nation.
Speaking to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, the prime minister was immediately scrutinised over the fact that many people just don't trust him.
Johnson deflected that by saying there was a "big trust issue with the whole of politics."

Schofield, a veteran broadcaster who isn't known for his grilling of politicians, really wasn't about to let Johnson off on the claims over the NHS being up for sale as part of a post-Brexit trade deal with the United States.
Johnson batted away these accusations about the NHS and other subjects by talking about something else altogether.

In a strange coincidence, Johnson was on the same edition of the show as former One Direction star Liam Payne. Sadly, there was no interaction between the pair.

Of all people, Piers Morgan was unimpressed with Johnson as he is yet to give an interview to his show, Good Morning Britain, going on to sarcastically mock the prime minister.

He even found time to talk about I'm a Celebrity...admitting that he would be willing to take part in one of the Bushtucker trails on the reality show.
Many people felt he was given an easy ride during the 12 minutes he was on air and asked when he would be talking to Andrew Neil, who he is still yet to confirm an interview with.
