Loose Women panellist Linda Robson has publicly spoken out against Nigel Farage after she said that she doesn't want to see him win I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
The mum of three, 65, who was also in the Australian jungle back in 2012, has said that although he's "been quite brave" in doing the Bushtucker trials, he is certainly not "one of my favourites". Linda first shot to fame when she starred in Birds Of A Feather as Tracy alongside Pauline Quirke as Sharon. And her career has gone from strength to strength as she has now cemented her position as a fan favourite on the back of being a regular panellist on Loose Women.
Linda Robson says she does not want Nigel Farage to win (ITV)In a recent interview she said: "He’s done everything he’s been asked to do in there, he’s done the trials he’s had to do, and been quite brave as well. He does moan about the cleanliness in there, but then I would have been exactly the same as there’s lots of rats around, so if you leave food out you’re going to get rats coming in."
But her stance on Farage is perhaps quite clear as she recalled the moment he appeared on Loose Women. She told AltIndex: "Nigel was a guest once on Loose Women and I asked him why he thought he was the most hated man in Britain! It made the front pages. He’s obviously earnt a fortune for going into the jungle. He won’t have to worry about money for a while, he’s going to come out of the jungle a lot richer!"
And as the final is simply days away on Sunday, December 10, Linda has already earmarked her winner - and it's not the former politician. She added: "He’s done alright but he’s definitely not one of my favourites and I don’t want to see him win. He’s lasted longer than I thought he would, I thought he’d be one of the first out. I thought the public would want to vote him out but obviously, they haven’t. But I don’t think he can win it, definitely not!"

She continued: "I think Sam will win I’m A Celebrity. He’s just been the life and soul of the jungle, he’s just so happy and up all the time, and has kept everyone giggling and laughing. That’s why he’s so liked by his campmates and the general public back at home. He’s got an innocence about him, he’s not said one bad word about anyone and he’s tried every trial that he’s been asked to do. He’s done it all with a smile on his face."
Linda went on to say: "I love Sam. I didn’t have a clue who he was before I’m A Celebrity, I don’t watch Made In Chelsea. Like me, a lot of people that don’t watch Made In Chelsea, they’ll have thought ‘who is this guy? I’ve never seen him before’ but then warmed to him after seeing how lovely he is. And he really is a lovely, lovely guy. I’ve never seem him miserable or moan about anything, so for that he deserves to win the series."
