Nigel Farage on I'm a Celeb etc (sorry forgotten the name of the show)
I've never watched it before, and I dont know any of the other contestants, but could be fun.
No doubt he will be given the most gruesome challenges.🤣

I used to enjoy this programme every year but I expect Farage to spoil it just like Hancock did last year. How convenient that he might be medically unfit for some trials. He shouldn’t have entered if that’s the case .

That’s been the case with plenty of other contestants over the years. He has been involved in a helicopter crash as well as vehicles.

I realise you are trying to make out he is getting some sort of special treatment but he really isn’t.

Rather a nasty title. There’s too much hate in the world right now.

Just because you disagree with his politics doesn’t give you the right to call him the most hated man in the world and certainly doesn’t mean you speak for others.

Re the OP.
I don’t think the vast majority of the world has even heard of him, let alone hate him.

Georgesgran Sun 19-Nov-23 15:29:01

Never watched it and don’t intend to start now.

I won't be watching the show, I don't like it.. if anyone is hated and smarmy tho' it's the gruesome twosome who present it.

I like NF.. his views all make sense..hope he wins

Sorry if I offended you Primrose53 I think the nuance (a word I'm seeing a lot these days) or perhaps tongue in cheek or even humorous, was how I meant the title to read.

No, of course I only speak for myself.

He has been referred to as a 'marmite' figure, which partially accounts for my title.

'the bile brothers' is how I've heard them referred to grin

What a truly offensive title 'the most hated man in the world' when we have two wars raging that involve appalling slaughter and untold cruelty. You must surely realise that Farage doesn't even come close to being the most hated man. Anyway, I thought last year it was Matt Hancock who was the most hated man in the world.

This thread is obviously just for Farage bashing and someone needs to start another thread for the programme itself.

Your correct, my title was a little over egged for emphasis.

Namsnanny Sun 19-Nov-23 16:31:26

MerylStreep ....

More will have heard of him when the show finishes though.

No doubt that is part of the attraction to do it.

Also I think, (someone can correct me if I'm wrong), he has been paid more than anyone else.

Apologies Chestnut, but bashing Nig was not on my agenda.

Poking fun and chatting was.

How many other things would I prefer to do?
How long have you got?

So long as your list is humorous, I've all the time in the world grin.

In fact, if some of the comments you've made in the past are anything to go by, I shall look forward to it grin

Lyndylou Sun 19-Nov-23 16:43:59

You don't speak for me either. I don't watch the programme but I do like Nigel.

I’ve never watched it. It looks a revolting programme.

Some of the things they make people do are quite revolting.

Obviously the point of the show is to see how far people can be pushed, for the reward of winning and or money.

But like you Wwmk2 I've made the point of by passing this program in the past, but everyone has their price, and watching NF might just be mine grin.

Enough to help him win? Every vote counts

I have never watched the jungle thing or any of the big Brothers either. Also never seen the only way is Essex or similar. I can’t be the only one.

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 19-Nov-23 16:50:24

I have never watched and don’t intend to, but I would take issue with your description of Farage, OP. No, I don’t care for him but there are far more unpleasant men in this world whose names are more widely known.

No

I'll be watching smile
I've just read this on Yahoo news though. Nigel Farage has revealed that his health issues will prevent him from taking part in certain Bushtucker Trials during his upcoming stint on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.

Apparently he negotiated smoke breaks off camera🤣🤣
They must have wanted him pretty badly.

And a quick pint smile

He's got his head screwed on the right way. grin

Last year they had a man on who kidnapped a vulnerable gay man, he is platformed on most TV channels, so NF who I loathe, is the least of it.

I've never watched it and can't see the point of it..

Can I refer you to my replies to Chestnut, Primrose53 and MerylStreep?

Save me explaining again.

Louella12 Sun 19-Nov-23 17:06:45

I'll be watching.

I also rather like Nigel. Maybe not a fan of his politics but he'll be entertaining.

shock Did he get convicted do you know?

I suppose the name of the game is to garner viewers?

I think NF will give the views bang for their buck!

Namsnanny Sun 19-Nov-23 17:11:05

views = viewers

Galaxy Sun 19-Nov-23 17:13:19

Yes namsnanny Boy George was convicted of assault and false imprisonment
