Boris Johnson’s girlfriend Carrie Symonds ‘asked Samantha Cameron for tips on life at No10’ and being a ‘First Lady’
YESTERDAY saw Boris Johnson’s girlfriend Carrie Symonds pack up her bags and move to Downing Street with her PM partner.
And it seems that Carrie may have been a little apprehensive of the move as sources claim she turned to former First Lady of the UK Samantha Cameron for advice.
David Cameron’s wife lived on Downing Streer for six years until their departure in 2016 and so knows a thing or two about life at No10.
Ahead of the move it is understood that Carrie got in touch with Sam Cam to ask for tips.
A friend of the former PR guru told the : “Sam Cam has been giving Carrie some advice on living in No 10. They're friends; she wants to help out.”
Carrie and Boris Johnson moved into their new home yesterday with a Government spokesperson confirming that the couple will take the space above No11.
The new PM decided to take the four-bedroom apartment as his new home last week.
A spokeswoman for the Prime Minister said:"The PM is officially moving in today and, yes, his partner will be living there."
But the taxpayer won't be picking up the bill for any new furniture the couple need, No10 added.
Carrie won't have any publicly funded staff working for either.
But she did spend "some" of the weekend at Chequers, a No10 source confirmed to the Mail.
The couple had previously been living in Carrie's flat in Camberwell, South London.
But they were forced to stay elsewhere after police were called to their home after a fuming row.
The pair have also bought another property in the area, where they plan to spend some of their time too.
Last week it was revealed that Boris wants to get a pet dog for No10 - but it will have to get on well with Larry the cat too.

He asked staffers in Downing Street whether they would like an addition to the crew - which was warmly welcomed.
The pet will likely be a rescue, and could come from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
