Boris Johnson had food poisoning before a brutal interview where he admitted he was 'beaten up' by presenter Susanna Reid.
The PM endured a torrid time when he was grilled on ITV's Good Morning Britain last week for the first time in five years, struggling to justify the government's cost-of-living response.
