Nigel Farage was noticeably disappointed when he finished in third place on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.
And host Ant McPartlin had to hurry up the Brexit lover at the end of his exit interview, because they were running out of time. Asked who he wanted to win, Nigel admitted he’d love both Tony and Sam to win it, but Ant told him to keep his answer short.
When he was asked who he would like to win the show he said: “Both great fellas” before Ant interrupted: “Come on, give us a straight answer.” It was at this point that he confessed: “If I was going to war, I’d want to be with Tony. But I think for pure entertainment, it has to be Sam.”

During the live final on Sunday (December 10), the former politician, 59, found himself in the final alongside his fellow campmates Tony Bellew and Sam Thompson. When he was asked why he did the show, he explained: “This is very physical and I’ve been asked in the past but I didn’t have the time.

“I had the time this year and I thought I’m 60 next year, if not now then I’ll never do it. I certainly did my best and I showed no fear at all.”
When he was asked what it was like living with the the other campmates, he confessed: “Some people are very scruffy, I won’t name names because it’d be a very long list.
“But if you asked me if I’d do it again, I think I probably would, I think I probably would!” It’s fair to say his time in the jungle certainly hasn’t been short of talking points – from Brexit rows with Fred Sirieix to baring his bottom live on air.

The GB News presenter also showed his emotional side when he reunited with his daughter Isabelle on Friday (December 8). But arguably his most memorable moment on the show was his most recent trial on Saturday night (December 9) when he took on the famous Celebrity Cyclone.
The Brexit leader dubbed himself ‘The Disruptor’ because “I’ve spent my whole life disrupting things.” Even his fellow campmates couldn’t help but chuckle at the unusual challenge as they all donned hot pants and capes before the took on the water-based challenge.
Boxer Tony quipped: “I reckon the world is close to coming to an end. I’ve got hot pants on and I’m going to jump on an inflatable toy with Nigel Farage.”

The trial itself had fans gripped to their seats as they watched the impressive foursome battle it out to bag all four stars for camp. In the end, the team prevailed, with the ex-politician even asking the Geordie duo Ant and Dec if they do it again.
He said: “Can we do it again, please? I loved it. I thought it was absolutely brilliant. I was holding on for dear life. Enormous fun.”
