Question Time audience member appears to be swearing about Boris Johnson

A man has been filmed appearing to swear under his breath during BBC Question Time after another member of the public suggested Boris Johnson return as Prime Minister.

The audience member appeared to utter the word “b******s” after a man in the row behind him claimed there was only one person who could succeed Liz Truss.

A Boris supporter had been one of the few people in the audience to raise their hand when host Fiona Bruce took a quick poll to find out who wanted the former Prime Minister back.

Referring to comments made by the panel earlier in the show, he said, "Graham [Stuart] talked at the beginning about wanting someone who can command a majority in the Commons, and Jess [Phillips] said something about them needing a warrant, a proper warrant.

A man (pictured) had said Boris Johnson was the 'only man' mandated to become the next prime minister (

"There's only one man who ticked both of those boxes, and that's Boris Johnson. I think it's time for him to come back."

Appearing unimpressed, the man directly in front of him to his right seemed to quietly say the expletive to himself before rolling his eyes.

Jess Phillips could then be seen laughing, although it's unclear if that was because of her response or the original pro-Boris statement.
