BORIS Johnson joked that Amber Rudd should win Love Island – instead of national sweetheart Amber Gill.
Speaking at a Sun leadership debate, he joked that the Work and Pensions secretary should go home with £50k after audience members clamoured for ‘Amber’ to win.
When asked if he had been watching he show, he said: “I have been watching it very dimly.
“Seems to involve these people with very few clothes on.”
He then asked the audience who they think should win – with dozens of onlookers shouting ‘Amber’ in reply.
But leadership rival Jeremy Hunt said: “I don’t know, I don’t watch it.”
It comes after arch-remainer Rudd admitted she COULD back a No Deal Brexit if it’s the only way to get us out on October 31.
SHOWDOWN AT SUN HQ
Her change of heart will be seen as an attempt to secure herself a ministerial job under Boris Jonson.
The Work and Pensions Secretary told talkRADIO: “Both candidates have said that No Deal is part of the armoury going forward, and I have accepted that.
“The situation is that we are leaving at the end of October but it would be so much better to get a deal.
“What we really need is for everybody’s effort to go into trying to get a deal.”
Both candidates to be PM ruled out calling an early General Election as they clashed for the last time at a debate hosted by The Sun and talkRADIO.
It came as the two Tory rivals appeared to kiss and make up, cracking a string of gags in front of an audience of Sun readers at our London HQ.
Asked by host Tom Newton Dunn if he’d rule out a snap election, Mr Johnson replied: “Absolutely.”
He added: “I think it would be the height of folly. I think the people of this country are utterly fed up with politicians coming back to them offering referendums or elections.”

Mr Hunt tore into his rival for rigidly sticking to the October 31 Brexit deadline – warning it could backfire spectacularly.
He said: “We have got to be very careful. If we get this wrong we will trip ourselves into an accidental General Election long before October 31.
“And we might well give the keys to Downing Street to somebody who will never deliver Brexit. And that will be the biggest betrayal.”
