    BORIS & CARRIE MADE HISTORY AS FIRST UNMARRIED COUPLE TO LIVE TOGETHER AT DOWNING STREET

    Mr Johnson and his then girlfriend also made history as the first unmarried couple to officially live together in Downing Street when they moved into the flat in Number 11 in 2019.

    Formerly known by her maiden name of Symonds, the PR expert first found herself making headlines when she was romantically linked to Mr Johnson in early 2019.

    But her association with Mr Johnson dates back to when she worked on his successful re-election bid at City Hall in 2012.

    After her husband's arrival in Downing Street, she was involved in a power struggle with the former de facto chief of staff in No 10, Dominic Cummings, which led to his ousting in the autumn.

    Mr Cummings has accused Ms Symonds of looking to interfere in the running of the Government and recommending to her husband who to hire and fire, allegations that Downing Street deny.
