Top aide Dominic Cummings was axed after Boris Johnson’s fianceé was nicknamed Princess Nut Nuts.
Boris flipped after Carrie Symonds revealed texts showing the Cummings faction was using the cruel moniker.
The PM ordered his aide and sidekick Lee Cain to get out of No10.
Asked about the Nut Nuts nickname, Cain, 38, told the Sunday Mirror: “I’m staying out of it.”
He and Vote Leave guru Cummings have told friends they were frustrated at Carrie – a former Tory Party comms boss – sending up to 25 texts an hour to Boris with her opinions.
But it was blonde assassin Carrie who had the last laugh as a friend revealed: “She absolutely loathes Dom and despises Lee. When she saw her chance to get rid of them she struck.”
