Boris and Carrie Johnson's family day out at a safari park with their three kids Wilfred, Romy and Frank did not go to plan.

The day began with the kids following the winding paths and exploring the dinosaur statues before they hopped in the car for the driving safari. Boris wound down his window to help his daughter feed the deer, with her excitedly stating: "Eat it, deer! Eat it!"

After his eldest son with Carrie was born, Boris spoke about life with a newborn living in Downing Street. He said on NBC's Today show: "It's fantastic. Well, you know, it's a lot of work. It's a lot of work, I'll tell you that much.

"But I love it. I absolutely love it. I change a lot of nappies."

Boris is also a father to four grown-up children with his second wife Marina Wheeler, Lara, Milo, Cassia and Theodore, and a daughter Stephanie from an affair with Helen Macintyre.

When asked if he was spending more time with his children after stepping down as Prime Minister in 2022, he told TalkTV: "Yes, and it's fantastic because you know, I've got a very full day. 

"I'm doing lots of writing. Unless I specifically tell you otherwise, I'm doing stuff for Uxbridge and doing a lot of political work but yeah, it means I can do reading to them… building things. It's great."

The former MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip added that it also gave him more time to put his DIY skills to the test for his kids.

"I'm building a garage for the quad bike. Not a big quad bike, it was a miniature quad bike. They're too small for quad bikes," he said.
