Good Morning Britain

They had a lot to say in the build-up to the vote, but how did the Twitter celebrity set react to the news that Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party had dominated the night?

Well, actor Hugh Grant was certainly displeased...

Meanwhile Rachel Riley, who has long criticised Jeremy Corbyn and his party over the accusations of anti-Semitism, was a little happier.

The 31-year-old PR guru took centre stage on Friday morning as she accompanied the Prime Minister as he stormed his way to an election victory.

Symonds was all smiles as she waved to the cameras in her first 'official' appearance with boyfriend Boris Johnson outside the Number 10.

Carrie was working in the Conservative Party's communications team and she is the first unmarried partner of a Prime Minister to live at the famous property - although the couple have actually set up home above Number 11 rather than the traditional residence.

As Boris Johnson took centre stage to celebrate winning his seat in Uxbridge and Ruislip South, all eyes were not, in fact, on the Conservative leader.

Making for one of the most bizarre scenes of election results night, Johnson was flanked by an array of colourful candidates including Lord Buckethead, Bobby 'Elmo' Smith and Count Binface.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has delivered a euphoric victory speech, telling his supporters 'we pulled it off ... we broke the deadlock', as he repeated his promise to get Brexit done after his party secured a landslide win at the general election.

On a dramatic night in politics, the Conservative party secured 364 seats in a 'historic' election victory, as Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson lost her seat and Jeremy Corbyn declared he'll no longer lead Labour in future elections following a bruising night of losses.

Speaking at the Conservative's victory rally, Mr Johnson paid tribute to colleagues who 'lost their seats through no fault of their own' but congratulated his party on its biggest majority in three decades, declaring it a 'new dawn' for the country.

"Getting Brexit done is the irresistible, irrefutable, unarguable decision of the British people," he said. "With this decision, we've put an end to all those miserable threats of a second referendum."

Thanking traditional Labour supporters who backed the Conservatives for the first time, he said: "Your hand may have quivered over the ballot paper before you put your cross in the Conservative box and you may intend to return to Labour next time round.

"If that's the case, I'm humbled that you have put your trust in me and you put your trust in us. I and we will never take your support for granted."

In his speech, Mr Johnson, who has since returned to Downing Street along with his partner Carrie Symonds, insisted he will 'work day and night' to get Brexit done by January 31, 'no ifs and no buts'.

In a video shared by Sky News, Scotland's First Minister was seen cheering and fist-pumping after it was revealed her party had successfully secured one of the biggest steals in the General Election.

The defeat led to Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson quitting her post with immediate effect.

Watching back the moment on Good Morning Britain Piers Morgan said: "One thing this has shown us again is the brutality of politics.

"Never laid bare more than in Nicola Sturgeon's reaction," he continued. "An off the cuff spontaneous reaction to the news that Jo Swinson, her rival party leader, had lost her seat in Scotland.

"She is happy, that is the end of someone's career she's celebrating there. I celebrated less enthusiastically when Arsenal had scored!"

The news comes after the remain-backing party suffered a loss in the polls, securing just 11 seats.

Swinson, who promised to stop Brexit if she gained the keys to Number 10, kicked off her campaign claiming she could be the next Prime Minister but lost in her East Dunbartonshire constituency to the SNP by 149 seats.

The new Lib Dem co-leader, Baroness Sal Brinton said it was “very sad” to see Nicola Sturgeon celebrate Jo Swinson losing her seat. The First Minister struggled to contain her excitement when her party won the former Lib Dem leader’s seat in East Dunbartonshire. Cameras caught Sturgeon on tape clenching her fists and dancing with joy when the result was announced.

Sal Brinton said: “She [Nicola Sturgeon] realised that the reaction she had was a bit over the top, which is why she apologised - and all credit to her for doing that.”
