Theresa May has revealed she shed a "little tear" when she learned the result of the election exit poll suggesting she would lose her majority. The prime minister said her husband Philip told her the news - and it came as a "complete shock".
"It took a few minutes for it to sink in," she told BBC Radio 5 Live's Emma Barnett, because "we didn't see that result coming". "My husband gave me a hug," she added, and she cried a "little tear". The prime minister said she did not watch the exit poll herself, as "I have a little bit of superstition about things like that".
