Euronews has taken a look at how the UK media has reacted to former journalist Boris Johnson's appointment as soon-to-be prime minister on its front pages this morning.
ADVERTISEMENTBoris Johnson has been elected as head of the UK's ruling Conservative Party, meaning he is set to become prime minister once outgoing leader Theresa May formally resigns later on Wednesday.
The 55-year-old former journalist is facing a challenging period as soon as he steps into the role with the looming Brexit deadline approaching at the end of October — something EU figures have quickly reminded him.
But how has the UK media responded to the appointment of its former colleague on this morning's front pages?

"Hang on to your hats...here comes Boris!"
