The former prime minister was due to talk to Laura Kuenssberg about his new memoir, with a highly publicised special programme due to air on Thursday evening.
The BBC has cancelled an interview with Boris Johnson after Laura Kuenssberg accidentally sent the former prime minister her briefing notes. Kuenssberg, who presents the broadcaster's Sunday politics show, said 'there's no point pretending it's anything other than embarrassing and disappointing'.
The BBC's press team said sharing the notes with Mr Johnson makes an interview with him 'untenable'. A spokesman added: 'Under the circumstances, both the BBC and Mr Johnson's team have agreed this is the best way forward.' Mr Johnson's publishers have said the book 'will deliver unmissable cultural and political coverage that will have the nation talking'. Sky News will be airing an interview with Mr Johnson, carried out by presenter Wilfred Frost, next week.
