'Over my dead body!' Boris Johnson to snub Scotland return after holiday disaster

BORIS JOHNSON may not return to Scotland for a holiday after he was swept out by the current during a Highlands break last year, it has been claimed.

The Prime Minister hired a remote three-bedroom rental in Lonbain, Applecross, with his fiancée Carrie Symonds, their son Wilfred and their dog Dilyn last August. But it has been claimed that the Prime Minister faced trouble during an incident whilst on the week-long Scottish break.

Mr Johnson was said to have been “taken out by the current" whilst going out paddleboarding or canoeing.

His security detail was said to be concerned about him drifting out to sea with one source suggesting he was “swept away and found himself going further and further out."

This, it has been suggested, caused his security detail to make preparations to call a rescue helicopter over fears the PM could drown.

However, the Prime Minister eventually managed to paddle halfway back where he was met by his protection officers.

A source told The Times: "It was all fine in the end but it could have been a catastrophe.”

Mr Johnson is also understood to have snubbed thoughts of a second holiday to Scotland and is said to have told friends “over my dead body” about going North of the border again for a holiday.

It comes after he told MPs on the House of Commons Liaison Committee last month "wild horses won't keep me away” when asked if we would return to Scotland for a break.

No 10 sources told Express.co.uk that Mr Johnson was “strongly considering” a UK break this year due to strict quarantine rules on international travel.
