Deeply weird bed 'previously owned by Boris Johnson' appears on eBay

A bed once owned by Boris Johnson could be yours for less than £1,000, it’s claimed.

An seller claims the vintage bed - “a true piece of history” - was previously owned by the ex-PM - though they haven’t revealed how long ago.

The lucky winner of the online auction will - it's claimed - be able to recline like a disgraced former Prime Minister, perhaps taking a mid-day siesta like he allegedly used to before he was drummed out of Number 10.

“It features a distinctive curved design, luxurious tufted upholstery, and a floral pattern that adds charm and character to any space,” the listing reads.

“This one-of-a-kind bed is perfect for collectors or anyone looking for a standout piece with a fascinating story.”

The luxury lounging furniture is listed for the bargain price of £975.72 or best offer - but the buyer will have to collect it from North West London.

It’s said to have been “previously used” and shows “some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended.”

The contacted the seller and a spokesperson for Mr Johnson but they did not respond.

The mysterious eBayer is also selling a 19th Century miniature French rosewood commode in Louis XV style, some Dior sneakers, Louis Vuitton ballet slippers and a selection of GCSE study books published around 2017.

An electric shiatsu foot massager is also on offer from the same seller, as are several special illustrated editions of Dan Brown novels.

None of the other items are listed as having been previously owned by Mr Johnson.

Since the publication of his book last year, the disgraced former Prime Minister has busied himself with a weekly newspaper column on such important subjects as cheese and the statues on Easter Island and occasional speaking engagements.

Last week, wife Carrie posted a video of him being bitten by an ostrich during a visit to a safari park in Texas.

In the video, which Mrs Johnson uploaded to , the ostrich can be seen walking towards the car while her husband cuddles with one of their children, who excitedly exclaims as it approaches.

But the cute family scene turns ugly in less than a second after the ostrich pounces, with Mr Johnson heard shouting "ow" as it appears to lightly peck at his hand. He can then be heard swearing in the background as his son chuckles. Mrs Johnson shared the video saying it was "too funny" not to post.
