Police were called to the London home of Boris Johnson and his partner in the early hours of Friday morning in answer to reports of an alleged altercation.
A spokesperson for Mr Johnson declined to comment on the matter.
According to The Guardian, the former foreign secretary and clear favourite in the contest to be the next British prime minister, was heard arguing with his partner Carrie Symonds, who reportedly told him to “get off me” and “get out of my flat”.
Ms Symonds was also allegedly reported to be angry at Mr Johnson for spilling red wine on a sofa. “You just don’t care for anything because you’re spoilt. You have no care for money or anything,” according to the Guardian report.
Mr Johnson was reported to have told her in response to “get off my f***ing laptop”.
A neighbour of Ms Symonds was reported to have made an audio recording of the fracas, which has been reportedly heard by the Guardian. The individual was said to have called the police when after failing to receive an answer after knocking on the door of the residence.
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement: “At 00:24hrs on Friday, 21 June police responded to a call from a local resident in the SE5 area of Camberwell.
“The caller was concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour. Police attended and spoke to all occupants of the address, who were all safe and well.
“There were no offences or concerns apparent to the officers and there was no cause for police action.”
Supporters of the gaffe-prone leadership candidate have feared his campaign could be derailed by an unpredictable incident.
Ben Wallace, the security minister and a close ally of Mr Johnson, has offered the only public response to the story. In a now-deleted post on Twitter about the Guardian report, he described it as a “non story” and “couple have row”.
Mr Johnson is set to take part in the first leadership hustings for the Conservative party’s membership on Saturday. He will field questions from hundreds of activists in Birmingham alongside opponent Jeremy Hunt.
