Boris Johnson Removed from Channel 4 Election Show for Book Promotion

The former UK Prime Minister was asked to leave the broadcast after repeatedly advertising his memoir during live coverage.

  • Boris Johnson was invited to Channel 4's US election coverage as a guest analyst but used the platform to promote his memoir 'Unleashed'.
  • Co-hosts Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Emily Maitlis repeatedly asked Johnson to stop promoting his book, describing his actions as 'cheap'.
  • Johnson was eventually replaced by Michael Cohen, former lawyer to Donald Trump, though it's unclear if the exit was planned.
  • Throughout the broadcast, Johnson dodged questions about his political future, directing viewers to find answers in his book.
  • The memoir 'Unleashed', published last month, details Johnson's time as UK Prime Minister, including his relationship with Donald Trump.
