Nigel Farage’s girlfriend Laure Ferrari is convinced that he will leave 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' as the king of the jungle.
Nigel Farage’s girlfriend Laure Ferrari is backing him to win I'm A Celebrity...
The divisive 59-year-old politician - who was one of the main campaigners for Brexit, which saw Britain leave the European Union - has been paid £1.5 million to take part on the ITV reality TV series and has been winning over new fans with his no-nonsense attitude and willingness to take on the dreaded Bushtucker Trials.
Laure - who will be in Australia to greet her man when he leaves the programme - believes that his performance is giving him a great chance to be crowned the 2023 winner.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Mail newspaper, she said: "I really believe Nigel can win. He is extremely tolerant of people's little ways, and that will gain him support from the public.
"I see it as my duty to support him. When he was invited on to 'I'm a Celebrity...', we talked about it. I saw it as a massive opportunity for him to shine. He was more thoughtful about it. He consulted his family and friends. It was a team effort that got him to appear."
Nigel has raised a few eyebrows by showing off his bare backside when showering in camp, but Laure, 44, insists he has nothing to be embarrassed about because he has a lovely bottom.
She said: "Nigel has a great bottom, what's wrong with that?' If you've got it, flaunt it!"
Revealing what initially attracted her to Nigel - who she first met when she was working as a waitress in Strasbourg in 2007 - Laure added: "I was first attracted to Nigel's values as a man. He has loyalty, empathy and never breaks his promises. I find that very attractive.
"I think the show is giving viewers the opportunity to see the Nigel that I, his family and friends, know and love.”
Laure - who now runs the think tank, the Institute For Direct Democracy in Europe, which had close links to Nigel's former political party UKIP - believes that Nigel maybe willing to leave his GB News presenting job and return to politics full-time after completing his stint in the jungle.
She mused: "I would say that what is happening in this country is sad and worrying.
“There is only one person that can do the job [of leading the country]. So if he chose to go into politics again, he would have my support.”
