Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds were clearly smitten with each other as they strolled together while exchanging loving glances.

To close friends who have loyally helped keep the couple’s growing romance under wraps, their cosy body language will come as no surprise. But for everyone else, these pictures offer a tantalising glimpse into Westminster’s newest power couple.

For if the former foreign secretary’s ambitions for the top job ever come to fruition, it could be he and 30-year-old Miss Symonds moving in to Downing Street together.

The couple have kept a low profile since Mr Johnson, 54, and his wife Marina announced they were divorcing last September. But behind the scenes, their relationship has apparently been going from strength to strength.

With her blonde hair tousled by the breeze, former Conservative Party official Miss Symonds’ smile as she looks into Mr Johnson’s eyes suggests a genuine commitment to the twice-married father of four, said body language expert Judi James.

And the way she tucks herself into his arm in one of the photos shows she seeks his protection.

A friend of Mr Johnson said: ‘Boris is different around Carrie. He only has eyes for her. It’s very genuine. He wouldn’t have gone through all this if it wasn’t the real deal. He just seems like a better man around her. He’s determined not to do anything to mess it up.’
