Boris Johnson is more recognisable than the Chancellor, Health Secretary and Defence Secretary put together, an opinion poll has found.
The Mayor of London is the second most well known politician in Britain, just three points behind Prime Minister David Cameron, who was identified by 94% of voters.
Foreign Secretary William Hague was correctly identified by 64% of voters who were shown his picture but was also mistaken for television tough guy Ross Kemp.
Nearly three quarters of the public knew who Nick Clegg was but the Deputy Prime Minister was also often taken for Chancellor George Osborne.
Home Secretary Theresa May was most often confused with Labour’s deputy leader Harriet Harman although voters also mixed her up with television comedian Sarah Millican.
Around 8,000 adults were interviewed online between April 26 and May 6 for the Lord Ashcroft poll.
