Fans Left Shuddering
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here fans were left cringing at Nigel Farage's reunion with his girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, after finishing in third place on the show. The embrace between the couple was branded "awkward" by viewers, who felt it lacked the usual level of love and affection.
A Bridge Reunion Gone Wrong
Some fans joked that Nigel's wife couldn't have gotten away from him quick enough, while others commented on the awkwardness of the bridge reunion with his girlfriend. One fan even suggested that Nigel pushed her out of the way to ensure she didn't ruin his moment.
A Private Relationship
Nigel Farage and Laure Ferrari have always kept their relationship out of the public eye, making this reunion a first for them. Laure gave Nigel a hug and a quick peck on the cheek after he walked across the bridge.
A Surprising Accident
Laure, who has been dating Nigel for six years, was recently rushed to the hospital after a surfing accident in Surfers Paradise, where she was supporting Farage during his time on the show. Although her injuries were not serious, she will be in a sling for a week or two.
Controversy Over Challenges
Some fans accused the show of giving Nigel the easiest challenge out of the three men in the final. While Tony Bellew was covered in guts and insects, and Sam Thompson had to eat a pig's vagina, Nigel's final trial was relatively tame. He was trapped inside a coffin called the "Panic Pit" and had to stay in the enclosure for 10 minutes to earn all available treats.
The Final Result
In the grand final of I'm A Celebrity, Sam Thompson was crowned King of the Jungle. Former Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott was not present to hand over the crown, so the duty was given to Josie Gibson. The couple, Nigel Farage and Laure Ferrari, have been dating for six years.
