Nigel Farage ‘s legal team has reportedly sent ITV a furious letter after he was shown fully nude in the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle.
According to reports, the divisive character’s team have claimed the show has broken an “indecency” clause, which would prohibit them from showing footage of him nude. The 59-year-old was seen completely naked in the shower earlier this week, while viewers were also shown him in the bath.
However it seems the only result will be some slight embarrassment from Nigel when he gets out and sees the footage. That’s because an ITV source has said no such “indecency” clause exists.

“[Nigel’s] legal team were not exactly over the moon about the naked scenes being show. It simply broke the clause in the contract,” a source claimed.

They added to Mail on Sunday: “Nigel will be surprised at the incredible reaction to it when he comes out because, as always, he is just being himself in the jungle. Who knows – maybe he could even do a calendar next year.”
An ITV source has confirmed that they did receive the letter and responded straight away. They have said there is no indecency clause “in anyone’s contracts”.

They told The Mirror: “All the celebrities are fully briefed before they enter camp that there’s cameras everywhere, except the dunny.” Nigel’s nude scenes have caused a lot of talk back in the UK with viewers.
And even ITV darling Lorraine Kelly got involved. Speaking on her daytime show, she said seeing Nigel naked had been “traumatising”.
But her comments have reportedly angered his friends. A post on his official X, formerly Twitter, account read: “Has Lorraine apologised for body-shaming Nigel Farage yet?”
