Boris Johnson made a surprise appearance at a Tory campaign event where he called for voters to stop 'Starmergeddon'.
It came as part of a final push before Brits head to polling stations on Thursday for the general election.
The former PM was greeted by cheers, claps, whistles and chants of "Boris, Boris, Boris" as he made his way on stage.
James O'Brien analyses Boris Johnson's 'legacy' and asks callers: How can anyone think Boris Johnson could 'bolster Tory fortunes'?
