Boris Johnson has replicated a memorable scene from the festive film Love Actually for a campaign video as he urged voters to back the Conservatives at the election.
The Prime Minister starred in the election broadcast as one of the hit movie’s hopeless romantics, putting a Brexit twist on the scene in which a man uses a series of placards to tell a woman he loves her.
Mr Johnson is seen in the video approaching an apathetic voter on her doorstep and silently showing her a series of messages after pretending to be a group of carol singers.
In the Conservative Party’s footage, which recreated a scene originally featuring Andrew Lincoln and Keira Knightley, two of the placards read: "With any luck, by next year we'll have Brexit done (if Parliament doesn't block it again)."

In a video entitled "Mean Tweets with Jeremy Corbyn", the Labour leader read out critical tweets about him in a format popularised by US late-night chat host Jimmy Kimmel.
Mr Corbyn can been seen sitting by a fireplace as he reads read out the tweets.
Responding to one, he replied: "What is a commie hat? I wear a cap! It's a bit like when I was told I was riding a Maoist bicycle. It's a bicycle!"
After addressing Labour manifesto promises on broadband and tuition fees, he read out a tweet about being found sexy. "Oh this is bad," Mr Corbyn said, later telling viewers there was a magic money tree "in the Cayman Islands".
The Labour leader ended the video with a high-five to someone off-camera and saying he would be the next prime minister.
