Seat screwed down after Boris Johnson had tendency to roll out of shot of webcam during tough interviews as mayor of London
"The guest seat in Nick Ferrari’s LBC studio was bolted to the floor after Boris Johnson kept escaping off-camera in tough interviews during his tenure as mayor of London, the presenter has revealed.
In an interview with Radio Times, Ferrari said the chair was now firmly attached to a plate in the studio floor so interviewees stay in shot of the webcam and avoid doing what LBC staff refer to as the “Boris bolt”."
