The arrival of the 77th prime minister will mark the first time in history the office holder has been selected by a party membership rather than MPs or the wider electorate.

Almost 160,000 votes were cast - an 87.4% turnout rate - to determine the next prime minister.

Mr Johnson - who secured 92,153 of the vote compared to 46,656 for Mr Hunt - has made a 'do or die' pledge to pull the UK out of the EU on October 31, even if there is no deal in place.

Chancellor Philip Hammond and Justice Secretary David Gauke have given notice that they will resign rather than serve under Mr Johnson, as has International Development Secretary Rory Stewart and Education Minister Anne Milton.

He joins us alongside Grace Lombardo who had a floral motif inked on her body to symbolise her strength after having both of her breasts removed.

"You walk in there as someone who's carrying the scars, and you walk out as someone who's carrying something that you chose, that is a piece of art"

- Grace Lombardo

"It's been fantastic. It was almost a spiritual experience."

- Harriet Waley-Cohen

Now Grace describes herself as a warrior and the owner of an incredible piece of art which is hers forever. She hopes other women who have been through the same ordeal will feel inspired by her story - and follow her example - like mum of two Harriet Waley-Cohen who’s undergone a single mastectomy and is getting a tattoo with David today.
