I'm not going to say how many children I have: UK PM Johnson

• I love my children very much, but they are not standing at this election, and I am not therefore going to comment, says Johnson.
• I am not going to put them on to the pitch in this election, says Johnson.

"I love my children very much, but they are not standing at this election, and I am not therefore going to comment," said Johnson, whose colourful love life has attracted tabloid attention in the past.

"I am not going to put them on to the pitch in this election."

When asked if he was going to have more children, Johnson, 55, who is living at Downing Street with his partner Carrie Symonds after separating from his wife last year, said: "I'm not going to get into discussions (on this)."
