In a hilarious clip shared on social media, Mr Johnson can be seen driving through a safari park with his four-year-old son Wilfred on his lap.

As the former Prime Minister slows down the car to get a better look at the large bird, the ostrich suddenly leans in and bites him on the hand.

He quickly jerks his hand away and shouts: "Oh cripes. F***ing hell."

The clip was shared to Instagram by Mr Johnson's wife, Carrie. She captioned the post: "Too funny not to share."
