Nigel Farage is all smiles as he lands back in UK after I'm A Celeb finale – but girlfriend Laure is nowhere to be seen | The Sun

NIGEL Farage was all smiles as he landed back in the UK after completing his I'm A Celebrity stint.

Politician Nigel, 59, looked back to his smart self in a pink blazer and coordinating trousers after weeks of living in the jungle.

But his girlfriend Laure Ferrari, 44, who had flown out specially to greet him after the finale, was nowhere to be seen.

The former UKIP leader had been holed up in Brisbane for three weeks, filming the ITV reality show.

He was said to be getting paid £65k a day for being on the programme, on which he reached third place.

Having packed light with just two suitcases, Nigel was seen making his way through Heathrow Airport early this morning.

He posed with his camp hat and shook hands with fans, who had been eagerly waiting for him at the gate.

The GB News host's girlfriend Laure, a French politician, decided to step into the limelight during his time on the show.

She has secretly dated the Brexiteer since 2017, but has never previously spoken out about their life.

As she arrived in the jungle, she said: “I’m not a secret. I’m here, I do exist and I do support Nigel. It’s very important for me to say that.”

Viewers did however question his awkward reunion with Laure on the bridge – as they put on their first display of public affection.

And now he's arrived back in his native England on his own, with Laure's whereabouts unknown.

Nigel's youngest daughter Isabelle, 18, had supported her dad in Australia too – but she didn't fly back with him either.

Sam Thompson was crowned jungle king, with Tony Bellew in second place.

Nigel said after his exit: "I'm not surprised, I'm absolutely thrilled, not everyone likes the stuff I've campaigned for and stood for over the years but we are all entitled to an opinion and I'm a human being like anyone else.

"I hope this programme has shown I'm as human as anyone else."
