A puppet of Boris Johnson has been unveiled ahead of the return of satirical TV show Spitting Image this autumn after 24 years.

 

The programme, made famous in the mid-1980s, is due to be recreated by the BBC and ITV for their Britbox streaming service.

 

Puppets of the prime minister's senior adviser Dominic Cummings and Prince Andrew have also been revealed.

The new series is also set to mock politicians around the world, including US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Mr Cummings, known for a more informal dress sense, is depicted wearing a blue hoodie and black gilet, with a large silver collar...
