NIGEL Farage has been pictured arriving in Australia where he said he “might” become a contestant on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.
Other famous faces rumoured to be joining the ITV jungle show who have been seen arriving in the country include This Morning presenter Josie Gibson and First Dates star Fred Sirieix.
Farage has previously said he has turned down multiple requests since 2016 to head into the Australian jungle.
After getting off the plane on Sunday, the former Ukip and Brexit Party leader told the MailOnline he is “someone who might be going into” the popular reality show.

He added: “I can’t confirm I’m doing it… I just think there’s a big… audience out there that watches the programme (who are), actually, people… worth talking to.”
On his GB News show last month, he said he was considering an appearance on the show to “connect” with a younger audience.
Former health secretary Matt Hancock came third in the 2022 series, which became the second most complained-about TV event of last year, according to Ofcom.
I’m A Celebrity has yet to announce its official line-up for this year and has previously said any names linked to the show are “just speculation”.
Other rumoured contestants include Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson, Love Islander Olivia Attwood, who competed last year but had to head home early, and former The Big Breakfast presenter Denise Van Outen.
Newspaper speculation has also mentioned jockey Frankie Dettori, former EastEnders actress Danielle Harold, ex-professional boxer Tony Bellew, Britney Spears’s sister Jamie Lynn Spear, and soap star Nick Pickard as potential campmates.
The show’s presenters Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly confirmed the series is set to begin next Sunday at 9pm.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
