Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was spotted in the evening of Friday in the cabin of the economy class aircraft on its way to the UK, according to the TV channel Sky News.

The media published a photo of the politician, who was on vacation with his family in the Dominican Republic. On board was a correspondent of the TV channel. According to him, Johnson and his family were among the first to board and took their seats at the end of the cabin.

According to the journalist, some passengers could not believe that the former prime minister was on the flight from Punta Cana with them. According to the TV channel, the airliner with the politician and his family on board is due to land at London's Gatwick Airport in the coming hours.

Johnson has remained silent since his successor, Liz Truss, resigned as leader of the ruling Conservative Party and prime minister on Thursday.
