The US businesswoman at the centre of a misconduct controversy involving Boris Johnson has said he "cast me aside like I Am some Gremlin ".

It is alleged that Jennifer Arcuri received favourable treatment during Mr Johnson's time as Mayor of London due to their friendship, claims he denies.

"I've kept your secrets, and I've been your friend.

"And I don't understand why you've blocked me and ignored me As If I was some fleeting one-night stand or Some Girl that you picked up at a bar because I wasn't - and you know that.

"And I'm terribly heartbroken by the way that you have cast me aside like I Am some Gremlin . "

Ms Arcuri appearing on the BBC's Talking Business programme in 2013

Her latest interview, follows allegations, in September, that Ms Arcuri's business was given £126,000 in public money along with privileged access to three foreign trade trips led by Mr Johnson when he was Mayor , between 2008 and 2016.

Ms Arcuri said she had tried to ask Mr Johnson for advice on How To handle media attention over the allegations, but was left feeling "humiliated" after being told "there are bigger things at stake" by an aide.

She added: "I was brushed off As If I was one of Kennedy's girlfriends showing up to his White House switchboard, you know, here to do my, you know, calling".

'Politically motivated'

Ms Arcuri would not be drawn on the nature of their relationship during The Interview , but said that she had come Under Pressure from friends to "admit The Affair ".

In response to the programme, the Conservative Party said it considered the decision to refer Mr Johnson to The Police watchdog as "vexatious and politically motivated".
