A US businesswoman at the centre of a misconduct controversy involving Boris Johnson says he should "man up" and call her.

Jennifer Arcuri claims she texted the prime minister last week, accusing him of "ignoring and blocking" her.

She allegedly received favourable treatment during Mr Johnson's time as mayor of London due to their friendship - claims he denies.

The prime minster has previously said he acted "with full propriety".

Ms Arcuri told Victoria she called Mr Johnson last week, before he hung up and refused further calls from her.
