Boris Johnson has ended years of speculation and finally confirmed the exact number of mini me’s (sorry, we mean children) that he has spawned.

Making the chilling admission to Swedish chatshow Carina Bergfeldt/STV, the Partygate PM fessed up to siring nine of the little darlings. Johnson had his last child with third and current wife Carrie back in May.

Speaking to STV, the 61-year-old explained how he now lives a “life of blameless, rustic obscurity” filled with “lots of young children”. Johnson went on to moan about how he couldn’t get a decent takeaway when he was in charge of our country, describing Downing Street as a “tough” environment.

He said: “Well, it’s actually quite a tough place to live. It’s so heavily fortified, and you’re right in the middle of London, and there aren’t any shops very near, and you can’t get a takeaway. It’s a nightmare.”

Johnson said he’d order “Lebanese, Chinese, everything… but it always got delivered to the wrong place”.

He added: “And so, if you order one late at night, you have to walk in your boxer shorts all the way down the corridor, through and on to Whitehall, and you still can’t find it.”

He also said he really did try to order takeaways, but “they never believe you”, and food delivery drivers would phone up, saying “I can’t stop, I’m being moved on”.

Johnson huffed: “It’s a nightmare, we never found a solution.”

It comes as Johnson has called upon all the “powerful men” who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s island to give evidence about the dead paedophile.

In the same interview with STV, he was asked how he’d managed to avoid the sex offender and financier. “Search me, Guv,” he quipped. But he called for more people to “explain what they knew.”

Johnson said: “One thing I will say about the whole thing, I do think it’s really curious that after all this time – Epstein obviously died in jail, but there’s only one person who’s in prison, and that’s a woman.

“And all these men, all these powerful men who’ve been on this island or whatever, none of them have given evidence. And they should. They should explain what they knew. And I think we’re squeamish about it because it’s such a horrible subject, but these people need to say, the Andrew formerly known as Prince, Bill Gates, all these guys. Get them to testify.
