He has remained tight-lipped on the issues of fatherhood since the birth of his son almost two months ago.
But now Boris Johnson has revealed he is being a hands-on dad in Downing Street by regularly changing nappies.
The Prime Minister yesterday celebrated Father’s Day in No 10 with his seven-week-old son Wilfred.

Ahead of the occasion, Mr Johnson gave a glimpse into what life is like as he juggles the most important job in the country with being a father again.
During a visit to Bovingdon Primary Academy in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, on Friday, the Prime Minister told well-wishers how he has been helping his fiancee Carrie Symonds look after their son.
Mr Johnson said Wilfred ‘is in great shape’, adding: ‘I’ve changed a lot of nappies, I want you to know.’
Wilfred was born at the end of April –just weeks after the Prime Minister was in intensive care battling coronavirus.
He has said very little publicly about his son since his birth and the baby has not yet been seen in public.

Mr Johnson is known to have at least six children but he has refused to confirm the number.
The Prime Minister’s remarks about being a hands-on dad come after he appeared flustered when This Morning’s Phillip Schofield asked before the birth whether he planned to change nappies.
After hesitating, Mr Johnson eventually replied: ‘I expect so.’
He then complained that it was a ‘tricky’ question.
