Boris Johnson seen frustrated at car hire desk in Italy

This the moment Boris Johnson appeared to wave his arms in frustration after spending 20 minutes trying to book a car at an airport.

The Foreign Secretary could be seen standing in front of a Fox Rent A Car kiosk at Turin airport in northern Italy.

But the short clip then shows the 53-year-old throwing his hands up – having spent 20 minutes trying to secure the booking, according to a bystander.

The video was posted online by a traveller along with the caption: ‘B.Johnson been there for 20 minutes trying to book a car.’

it is believed to have been captured as he was trying to book a car for a holiday in the region yesterday. MailOnline has requested a comment from his representatives.

It is not the first time the Minister has chosen to visit the area.

The collision was revealed by the boy’s father, Francesco Zucchi, who said Johnson picked himself up ‘and didn’t stop saying sorry and taking the blame for a second, embarrassing me to the point that I made my son say, in broken English, “No problem, not your fault”.’

In a separate travel saga, Johnson was left ‘furious’ after an airline mislaid his baggage on a flight to New Zealand over the summer.

But he was reunited with his clothes ‘after a short time’, a source later revealed.
