Janet Street Porter has hit out at Prime Minister Boris Johnson after he welcomed his new baby with fiancée Carrie Symonds.
The Loose Women star and journalist hit out at Boris in her latest column for having ‘multiple children’ by different mothers.
The 73-year-old star said she didn’t think the PM was sending over a very “attractive” or “appealing” message.
She also claimed “double standards” as she said the situation would be different if the Prime Minister was female.
Janet wrote: “One question bothers me – why oh why, does Boris Johnson keep fathering children?

“Multiple mothers sends out a message, and it’s not one I find particularly attractive or appealing.
“But why keep at it in your mid fifties?”
Boris is already believed to have five children, which makes the new addition to the family his sixth.
The Prime Minister has four children with his ex-wife Marina Wheeler.

Johnson also has a child with art advisor Helen Macintyre, after their affair while he was still married to Ms Wheeler.
Janet added in her column for Mail Online: “The sub-text is – I’m a macho man who still has sex and can produce spawn.”
She also said she didn’t particularly welcome the news amid the current situation as the UK battles the coronavirus pandemic.

The star continued: “Ordinary folk still can’t get a coronavirus test (the government website crashed yet again and most of us aren’t allowed back to work yet because we’re not considered ‘essential’.
“Meanwhile, old people are dying alone and miserable in care homes.”
Janet also clashed over Boris with This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby as she appeared on the show today.
Janet made it clear she didn’t approve of the timing of the birth, claiming Boris was supposed to be campaigning for an election “nine months ago”.
Unable to hide her shock, Holly snapped: “Oh Janet!”
