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.🤣

What a dreadful spiteful remark about Nigel Farage - how can any one say that he is a vile human being?! Absolutely disgraceful and totally unnecessary!

Well said Bunty……….The vitriol spewing out on here about Nigel Farage is quite unnecessary and as for attacking other posters who like him (I certainly do) very spiteful

‘Vile excuse of a human’? As far as I’m aware, NF hasn’t murdered anyone - how about Putin, Netanyahu, the leader of Hamas (don’t know his name)?
I don’t appreciate being called a racist. I couldn’t care less where people come from. The bottom line is that this country is overcrowded enough as it is.

I admit to being one of the ‘I won’t watch this twaddle’ brigade but am finding it quite interesting

Yes, but we only watched ten minutes of it between programmes, does that count?

I used to like I'm a Celeb, but haven't watched it since it temporarily moved to Wales didn't the pandemic. Last year Hancock put me off, and this year is Farage. There's no way in earth I'd give that vile excuse of a human being a second of my viewing time. And in amazed at the amount of people on here that actually "like" him! Seems racism is alive and well in all age groups.....

Funny how we can all go on and off people. Like Maddy I disliked Nella because she was so shouty, then warmed to her when she bravely ate all those horrid pizza toppings. Now I dislike her again after her being so petty and down right nasty over Fred’s innocent comment about being old enough to be her father.
I admit to being one of the ‘I won’t watch this twaddle’ brigade but am finding it quite interesting. Wish there was more of the interaction between the participants and less of the screaming and balking at the trials.

I always find that once posters start being rude and attacking others eg. get a life they have lost the argument.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 22-Nov-23 09:42:31

Rather like DrWatson perhaps, I just don’t see the attraction in this or other ‘reality’ programmes. Each to their own.

Abitshy Wed 22-Nov-23 09:38:59

I don't mind Nigel farage and love the programme
I watch it every series.
Nella is so funny and giving me plenty of laughs which I need right now.

Wrong side of bed?

Louella12 Wed 22-Nov-23 09:22:16

Never fear, ladies

We probably have far better lives than DrWatson

Shinamae Wed 22-Nov-23 09:07:22

I'd further add that anyone watching this repetitive twaddle (& I do see a few mins here and there, changing channels) should get a life!

Bloody rude!!

Oooh! Get you!

Allsorts Wed 22-Nov-23 06:37:53

Rather have Nigel than Fred any day, don't like or trust Fred. Nella a self obsessed screaming banshee. Dreadful. Won't be watching the eating trials which are just demeaning and vile by people who will stoop to anything to get money and publicity. Like listening to camp fire chats once they get hungry. All in all I am sick of these sort of programmes, it's the sane type of attention seekers on all of them.

DrWatson Wed 22-Nov-23 04:01:58

For Siope, Hurray! Of course Farrago isn't "the world's most hated", most of the planet hasn't heard of him, and in any case, a subset of the UK rather likes him, (includes some of GN it seems) as to them he speaks some common sense.

Maybe some people haven't heard of Putin or Trump, or that lunatic despot who can't find a decent haircut in N Korea?

The problem with this show is they cram 24 hours into 45 minutes.

When Nella was shouting at Fred it did seem totally over the top and unnecessary. However, she did allude to him upsetting her earlier. Which we didn't see any evidence of. So we're not getting the full picture.

It's just a programme that is edited for the best viewing.

I think the programme has possibly had its day. Social media shreds people to pieces. And it's not always fair.

Nella took offence where none was intended. I hope she'll get over it soon.

maddyone Tue 21-Nov-23 23:15:38

I liked Nella but she disappointed me tonight with her verbal attack on Fred. Mind you, Fred took his first available opportunity to have a go at Nigel Farage yesterday, so he’s not the nicest person either.

I said upthread but will say again, all the contestants have to be medically examined and all their medical history disclosed to a doctor who decides if a trial is unsuitable for them. Nigel Farage was clearly exempt from tomorrow’s task because of the broken back and other injuries sustained in the plane crash he was in. No one can be exempted from a trial just because they want to be.

harrysgran Tue 21-Nov-23 21:24:11

She comes across as very childish and self. obsessed

crazyH Tue 21-Nov-23 21:23:27

Nella was totally over the top - I’m not a fan of that Fred, but he just said , something like ‘I could be your Father’ in reference to the age difference. What’s wrong with that!!

merlotgran Tue 21-Nov-23 21:19:14

What an attention seeking drama queen. Can’t stand her.

lemsip Tue 21-Nov-23 21:12:23

yes nella is being nasty.

Shinamae Tue 21-Nov-23 21:11:33

Wow,Nella going hard in on Fred…😳

Primrose53 Tue 21-Nov-23 20:19:49

To those who are whinging that NF will not be doing some of the challenges - this has always been the case in the jungle. Different people have health conditions or injuries which prevent them from taking part because it would be very dangerous.

marta74 Tue 21-Nov-23 20:07:19

I like Nigel Farage ,and so does many many people. Why always this hatred against him?.
