I’m A Celebrity fans cringe at Nigel Farage’s awkward reunion with his girlfriend
I’M A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here fans were left shuddering at Nigel Farage’s reunion with his girlfriend.
After finishing in third place, Nigel walked across the bridge into the arms of his partner Laure Ferrari.
However, fans joked that their embrace was lacking the usual level of love and affection.
“Nigel’s wife couldn’t have got away from him quick enough then,” one wrote on X.
“Although even I will say, as a loyal follower, that bridge reunion with his girlfriend was so awkward!” another added.
A third joked that he “pushed her out the way” so she “didn’t ruin his moment”.
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.
A pal told how Laure was injured in the ocean at Surfers Paradise, where she’s supporting Farage during his time on the show.
A friend added: “Laure ended up having an accident while surfing.
“It was nothing serious but she headed to hospital to get her right arm checked over.
“She is going to be in a sling for a week or two but she’s in good spirits and is having a great time in Australia.”
Some fans accused the show of giving Nigel the easiest challenge out of the three men.
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.
Former Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott was nowhere to be seen tonight, so the crowning duty was handed over to Josie Gibson.
The previous year’s winner usually does the honours but Jill’s schedule was obviously too busy for her to make it this year.
