Nigel Farage may have managed to prompt to an entire boycott of thousands of I’m A Celebrity viewers with his sheer presence on this year’s series, but that still hasn’t stopped fans of the series from getting more from the politician than they bargained for.

Following the viral bathing moments which saw viewers seeing his nude bottom not once, but twice, the Brexit campaigner could be set to release a pin-up calendar. His Jungle bathing scenes on Monday and Thursday night’s episode caught the attention of social media.

In response to the onslaught of social media memes, his official Instagram account - which is run by a member of his team - posted a picture in jest of the British broadcaster with his face photoshopped onto a calendar. “A must-have this Christmas #ImACeleb”, they captioned the image.

Now, it appears that more suggestive images of Farage might be on the rise, as a source close to him hinted that he might look to create his own calendar next year. “'Nigel will be surprised at the incredible reaction to it when he comes out because as always he is just being himself in the Jungle”, they told DailyMail.

They continued: “Who knows, maybe he could even do a calendar next year. But it’s looking like 2024 might be a very busy year for him at the moment…” But despite the source seeing the humour in the viral moments, his team have sent a legal letter to ITV producers.

They claim there is an “idecency” clause in his contract which prevents the channel from showing nude footage of the former UKIP leader. A source told The Mail on Sunday: “The legal team were not exactly over the moon about the naked scenes being shown. It simply broke the clause in the contract.”

However, ITV confirmed that they received the complaint, but claimed that there are no such clauses which prevent them from showing the contestant nude on the show. The Mirror has contacted a representative of Farage and ITV for a comment on the matter.
