A Conservative MP and former minister was so drunk when Boris Johnson called him last night that he can't remember what the Prime Minister said, according to his wife.
MP for Plymouth Moor View Johnny Mercer had a few drinks last night while watching Plymouth Argyle get beaten by Chelsea.
Mr Mercer's wife Felicity later took to Twitter to post a picture of the MP apparently fast asleep in his sofa at home.
She said Mr Mercer was "so p****d" when the Prime Minister called him that he could not remember the conversation they had, reports PlymouthLive.
Boris Johnson has been calling MPs as he faces a backlash among colleagues over his handling of Downing Street parties.
Mrs Cornelius-Mercer joked that she was thinking of winding up her husband the next day about the events.
The tweet read: "So..funny story…the Prime Minister rang tonight directly after an afternoon of FA Cup football and England rugby..and @JohnnyMercerUK was so p***** he can’t remember what was said.
"Thinking of winding him up tomorrow…I heard Johnny/Boris say………suggestions please".
Mr Mercer tweeted in reply: "In other breaking news, wives have a mind and a life of their own.
"She’s on this nuts journey with me - the highs and many lows. She is more than entitled to take the p**s out of me/the PM/whoever she likes."
