A Tory source has since said that he was not swearing at the reporter, he was expressing a general frustration.
Today would’ve been the last chance for the Prime Minister to appear on the show before tomorrows election, which he had promised to do two months prior.

Can you imagine how bonkers it would have been in 2015 if David Cameron or Ed Miliband had hidden in a fridge to escape reporters? And now we’re like, “bit weird but sounds like something the Prime Minister would do”

Corbyn claims Labour will come out on top with “no problem at all”
Polls for a Tory victory are looking more likely, however Jeremy Corbyn is still insisting he has nothing to worry about.
I’ve not come here to deliver milk, or to hide in a fridge,
Teasing Boris this morning outside the Sporting Lodge Inn he announced to hundreds of supporters:
” I’ve not come here to deliver milk, or to hide in a fridge, I’ve come here with a message of hope.”
Talking about why he has so much hope for a Labour win, he said: ““We’ve had six weeks in which we’ve been campaigning all over the country and we’ve had six weeks in which we’ve been under relentless media assault against my party, nevertheless, our message has got through.”
Former No 10 pollster has warned of a “fast and late” Labour rush after YouGov’s MRP poll predicts that the Conservatives are on course for a 28-seat majority – down from the 68-seats predicted just two weeks ago.
