Channel 4 ‘fired’ Boris Johnson from US election show for promoting his book, co-host says

Boris Johnson was “fired for banging on about his book” during a guest appearance on Channel 4’s coverage of the US election, according to the programme’s co-host, Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

It was not clear whether Johnson’s exit from the programme had been planned or if he had departed early.

Johnson retorted: “There’s absolutely nothing you can do to stop me … I’m allowed to plug my book.”
