Nigel Farage's secret girlfriend has revealed how she thinks he will get on in this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Laure Ferrari and the former MEP have been a rumoured item for a while now, but today she confirmed the two are together. The 44-year-old has broken her silence on Farage's appearance in this year's star-studded line-up on ITV.
Speaking about his progress on the show, she said: "I really believe Nigel can win. He will be a good campmate. He is extremely tolerant of people's little ways, and that will gain him support from the public."
Laure also spoke about him flashing his bottom, despite his team having sent a legal letter about the footage being aired. She added: "Nigel has a great bottom, what's wrong with that? If you've got it flaunt it."
Farage's time in the jungle hasn't exactly been smooth sailing (ITV)Speaking to the Daily Mail, Ferrari and Farage, 59, met in Strasbourg in her native France in 2007, when she was working as a waitress. Initially they were just good friends before it blossomed into more. She says he is loyal and has good empathy which were attractive qualities. And she insists viewers are seeing that now too, despite some claims Farage is being airbrushed out of the show.

She said: "There are rumours that some want to make him less popular. But I think the show is giving viewers the opportunity to see the Nigel that I, his family and friends, know and love." She also said if Farage wants to get back into politics after the show "he would have my support" and added: "What is happening in this country is sad and worrying. There is only one person that can do the job (of leading the country)."
Farage hasn't had a great week on I'm A Celebrity, only yesterday voting to leave a bush tucker trial as he struggled to cope in the water-based trial called In Too Deep. Farage was meant to try to win stars with Nick Pickard but it ended up being solely down to the Hollyoaks star to bring food for camp and he grabbed six out of eleven stars. When they arrived at the clearing, host Dec explained: "This is In Too Deep. It takes place in these two giant water tanks behind you."
With water spiders on him, Farage said: “I don’t mind that it’s the water that worries me.” As he attempted to unscrew the stars, Farage said: “I can’t do this.” Dec encouraged: “Maybe use the rungs of the ladder to help you down?”
Farage opted to pass on the star, so it returned to Nick to try. As he continued his efforts to get stars, Nick exclaimed: “It’s a crocodile!” Farage chose to pass on his next one too. As Nick held his breath and got to work underwater, Ant noted: “He’s good at this.”
At the end of the Trial, Farage said: “I wasn’t worried about the snakes. Just can’t do it. I let the side down.” Nick said: “Don’t be stupid, we’ve got six.” Hosts Ant and Dec confirmed as Nick counted out his stars on the ground that he’d found six stars so six meals for camp.
