I’m A Celeb’s Nigel Farage teases comeback and refuses to rule out standing with Boris Johnson in next general election | The Sun

NIGEL Farage is plotting his political comeback after coming third in I’m A Celebrity.

The Brexit maestro, 59, this morning hinted at rejoining the conservative party for the next general election.

Farage was quizzed on Good Morning Britain on whether he had used his time on I’m A Celeb to groom the public for his political comeback.

He said: “I am looking at a conservative party that is effectively in shambles. Rishi is a lame duck walking.

“As to whether I have a future in politics I have no idea right at this moment. What I will say is 'never say never'.”

However, after being pushed further by Ed Balls he admitted that if there was a change of leadership in the Tory party then he would consider running in the next general election.

When questioned if he would re-join if Boris Johnson was leader, he said: “If some of those things happen – do you know what? It might happen.”

Farage is the former leader of the Brexit Party and served as a MEP for South East England from 1999 to 2020. 

He was also the leader of UKIP from 2006 to 2009 and again from 2010 to 2016.

It comes as Farage was booted out of the I’m A Celeb camp last night.

He came in third place behind reality TV star Sam Thompson and Championship boxer Tony Bellew.

After finishing,Nigel walked across the bridge into the arms of his partner Laure Ferrari.

The French politician and Nigel have always kept their relationship out of the public eye – so this is a first for them.

She gave him a hug and a quick peck on the cheek after he walked across the bridge.

His 44-year-old girlfriend, who has been dating Nigel for six years, was recently rushed to hospital after a horror surfing accident.

Last night fans accused the show of giving Nigel the easiest challenge out of the night.

While Tony Bellew's trial saw him covered in guts and every insect imaginable, and Sam Thompson had to eat a pig's vagina, Nigel's final trial was relatively tame.

Nigel was trapped inside a coffin dubbed the "Panic Pit" and every two minutes he stayed in the enclosure meant that he would win a star, meaning he had to last 10 minutes to earn all available treats.

As the klaxon sounded, Ant McPartlin declared: "You’ve got company now, Nigel." 

A huge snake slithered in as Nigel declared that he was "having a lovely time," after Declan Donnelly raised concerns.

Viewers rejoiced after Sam was crowned King of the Jungle in the grand final of I’m A Celebrity.
