But top agents have warned his “bookability” will slump fast if further revelations about boozy lockdown parties emerge in the meantime.

One said: “His stock is pretty high but would fall fast if the damaging revelations continued for several months.

“If he’s thinking of going, it would be financially more prudent to go sooner rather than later.”

Mr Johnson earned £160,000 for two speeches made between quitting Theresa May’s Cabinet in 2019 and succeeding her as PM in 2020.
