The YouTube video uploaded by the Guardian confirms that Boris Johnson walked into a fridge.U.K Prime Minister Boris Johnson retreated into a fridge to avoid a TV interview. The prime minister was approached by the Good Morning Britain producer, Jonathan Swain, during a pre-dawn visit to Modern Milkman. When Swain approached Johnson requesting him for an interview with Good Morning Britain, Johnson replied he will be with them in a second and walked inside a Milk Cold Freezer. People around there shouted that he is hiding in a fridge to avoid Piers Morgan's interview, host of Good Morning Britain. Later, conservative sources insisted that Johnson was not hiding in the fridge, but instead, his aides were taking a moment to prep the PM for a separate, pre-agreed interview. Based on this information, we cannot objectively verify whether Mr. Johnson walked into the freezer to avoid the interview or not.
