Boris Johnson had to deal with a chorus of ‘resounding boos’ at the cricket today amid claims he and his wife Marina Wheeler split because he was cheating on her.
The former Foreign Secretary was pictured on the big screen at the Kia Oval in south London during England’s Test match against India.
The MP was also caught snoozing in the crowd just 24 hours after publicly confirming he and Ms Wheeler were seeking a divorce.

‘The former Foreign Secretary…he appears to be on his own, which reflects what we’ve seen in the papers in the last couple of days,’ the Sky Sports commentator said.

‘We have subsequently agreed to divorce and that process is under way.
‘As friends we will continue to support our four children in the years ahead.
