Former UKIP Leader Strips Down in Camp
ITV viewers of I'm A Celebrity have expressed their shock and disgust after Nigel Farage was captured on camera in the nude. While most campmates opt to wash in swimwear, Farage has chosen to enjoy a completely naked bath. The sight of Farage's bare bottom has left some fans calling for action from Ofcom, the UK's communications regulator.
Outrage on Social Media
Viewers took to social media to express their displeasure at seeing Farage without any clothes on. One fan tweeted, "I have been forced to see Nigel Farage half naked on my screen twice now whilst eating!!!!!! Do something!!!!!££. My stomach is turning!!!!" Another wrote, "How many times are they going to show us this guy's rear end? Ofcom." A third viewer commented, "Showing Nigel Farage naked on TV all the time is completely inappropriate when someone is in the shower or bath."
A Jungle Shower Surprise
Nigel Farage wasted no time in stripping down during his time on I'm A Celebrity. In less than 24 hours, he was filmed taking an outdoor shower in the nude. His bare bottom caught the attention of campmate Josie Gibson, who exclaimed, "I’ve seen worse... No, I haven’t!"
Producers' Dilemma
Behind-the-scenes sources revealed that Nigel Farage's decision to bare it all has made him the most interesting character in the camp. While some producers may be hesitant to give him more airtime due to the controversy surrounding his casting, they also recognize that he makes for great television. This leaves the crew torn between embracing Farage as the star of the show or limiting his screen time to avoid further outcry.
Airtime Concerns
Farage himself has shown awareness of the importance of airtime on the show. On a recent episode, he confessed to being "gutted" about not participating in the day's trial, as leaving camp would have given him more exposure. His friend Alex Phillips commented that Farage probably had no idea his naked behind would be shown on TV.
