JENNIFER Arcuri, the American businesswoman, whose links to Boris Johnson have come under the media spotlight, has called for him to make a personal apology to her after “feeding me to the wolves”.

Ms Arcuri's links with the Prime Minister came under public scrutiny earlier this year over allegations that she received favourable treatment for her business ventures during his eight-year stint as Mayor of London.

In a morning of broadcast appearances, she spoke of their relationship calling it "very special" as she refused to say whether or not they had had an affair.

On ITV's Good Morning Britain, Ms Arcuri swerved queries about her relationship with Mr Johnson, telling hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid that she did not want to "be pressured into admitting" to anything about her links to the Tory leader.

Later, speaking to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire Show, the 44-year-old former model and actress insisted Mr Johnson did not do her any "favours" but said she wished he had declared her as an interest if it could have "saved me this entire embarrassment and humiliation".

She explained: "I would love an apology for acknowledging the fact that given all those years that I was on the ground, hustling and working as a student. I mean he saw my arc, he saw my progression as a young woman, graduating and becoming a mature entrepreneur."

Ms Arcuri also accused the PM of feeding her to the wolves. Asked if Mr Johnson "had bigger fish to fry", she replied: "That's what you tell somebody when you meet them for the night, you don't know them, you haven't spent the hours with them, the investment into another person.

"And the fact that I'm called out, just on GMB, because 'why I am here if I'm not here to admit the affair?'

"Well, wait a minute, I'm not allowed to be upset because somebody that was very much a part of my life, who knew what I stood for, the calibre and integrity and merit that I work at; I mean all these things he knew and he sat back, why?

"He didn't have to ignore me, it could have been a 30-second phone call, just to let me know that he's acknowledging the fact that he, while he gets to be prime minister gets to feed me to the wolves. And I find that really disturbing."

Ms Arcuri said Mr Johnson did not just have "a sexual intention" towards her as she insisted he was a "man of his word".

"I was convinced this was a man of his word because I couldn't believe the fervent, linear focus which he had on me.

"I assure you it was not just a sexual intention, he actually was very intrigued by my energy, my ability to get things done; he loved my events and he saw the way I could work a room, the way I met everybody."

The businesswoman added: "I was a female, there was very few of us and I was extremely tenacious and I'm telling you that's what London and Partners loved about me, that's what Boris Johnson loved about me, and that's why I was accepted so greatly into this London community.

#"I have great pride for this eco-system. I mean, we built it."
