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.🤣

Why is he the most hated man in the world? I like him.

He'll be friendly, complete all the tasks, gain stars for food and generally appear as Mr Nice Guy.

It's his affability, his friendly neighbour, man in the pub persona which makes him so dangerous!

I don’t think he’s dangerous now though is he?
It was to do with Brexit and our leaving the EU that made him dangerous to the establishment.
There are many far more dangerous people in the world than Farage.

He's hardly the world's most hated man, I can think of plenty of others

SecondhandRose Tue 21-Nov-23 11:45:45

I love Nigel! Expect he’ll be fun in the jungle.

Hate is such a strong word. I didn’t like him but I’ve grown to like him he’s been correct on everything he said years ago and he can’t do alot of things after he had a sharp brush with death in a plane accident from what I heard. I am watching it and enjoying it as always. Btw how can you hate someone you have never met. Go Nigel 🤣🤣🤣

I think Nigel Farage will be interesting and will say a lot of things that many people agree with but don’t feel they can say. I find him fascinating and admire him for standing up against almost all the other politicians at the European Parliament, he took te money and made for some very awkward situations but he never backtracked. At least we know how he really thinks and feels.
I have read that he is being paid 1.5 million to appear and if this is true let’s hope he gives his moneys worth.

Except for the fact that he’s worming his way into the Conservative Party and some people think he could become leader. Supposedly everyone was fawning over him at the party conference.

I like Nigel Farage he talks common sense

I agree and think he’s coming across really well

Suzey Tue 21-Nov-23 12:08:25

I don't hate him I agree with alot of what he says

BevSec Tue 21-Nov-23 12:10:53

Me too,think he is great

Lily49 Tue 21-Nov-23 12:26:44

I happen to like Nigel Farage and will be watching.

Buntymart Tue 21-Nov-23 12:34:30

I like Nigel Farage... he certainly isn't hated by everyone!

Susieq62 Tue 21-Nov-23 12:42:52

Never watched it, not going to now ! Is Farage broke ?? Why is he getting more money than others? Does he need the publicity and kudos ???
I hope he stays in Oz they are welcome to him and he would fit in well with certain areas of their society
I am also disappointed that Grace Dent is taking part 🤷‍♀️

Authoress Tue 21-Nov-23 12:45:25

Gods no. Disgraceful, awful, amoral man, only there to try and resurrect his appalling political party.

Hiker Tue 21-Nov-23 12:45:44

Can’t stand him. What was ITV thinking?

Fairycakes Tue 21-Nov-23 12:49:27

I like Nigel Farage. He says it as it is. I'm not sure it was wise of him to go into the jungle, though. He'll probably be voted for all the worst tasks 😁. I don't think I'll be watching it. I haven't seen it in years.

maddyone Tue 21-Nov-23 12:53:31

I don’t think we need to worry about Farage becoming leader of the Conservative Party Maybee. It’s not going to happen. He’s not even a member of the Conservative Party, nor an MP.

I agree 👍😄

Juniper1 Tue 21-Nov-23 12:57:16

He is a dangerous racist who should not be given this air time. He is certainly not a celebrity

Twig14 Tue 21-Nov-23 13:16:16

I like Nigel Farage

Twig14 Tue 21-Nov-23 13:17:24

Well said Fairy cakes totally agree with you

vegansrock Tue 21-Nov-23 13:30:32

One thing he said was he wanted to bring back smoking in pubs and ease gun control. All those fawning over everything he says should remember some of his less salubrious pronouncements.

GranJan60 Tue 21-Nov-23 13:37:08

NF is using this show to ingratiate himself with those of the audience gullible enough or forgetful enough to try to relaunch his failed career. In addition his overpayment and excuses not to participate for “medical reasons” must hack off the others - I can see this becoming the NF show with the rest overshadowed. Shame on those platforming, sponsoring and advertisers. I am boycotting it.

My goodness the hyperbole on here, although I take many of the comments literally. I watch Celebrity Get Me Out of Here every series because I like to see how humans behave in such conditions and surroundings. I learn a lot about people. Nigel Farage might be not everyone’s cup of tea, but I am fascinated by the sheer nastiness of the far left members on GRANSNET. I would not enjoy their company although I rather like WWM.
For those lofty members here with closed minds, Farage has demonstrated common sense on the programme and carried out successfully two of the worst tasks so far without complaint. I must confess I know only a couple of the other contestants and they are Fred Serieux and Grace Dent. Why anyone would dislike Ms Dent is a mystery to me. I am sure avid Remainers are wishing bad things to happen to Nigel Farage., Their posts show just how mean minded the left can be. I could never wish for evil things to happen to any left wing politician. I guess I am not mean enough.
