Brexit leader Nigel Farage has already begun winning over fans of the British reality TV show “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here,” despite his participation in this year’s series initially causing a stir amongst the British public.
Farage, 59, won his first “trial” on the first episode on Sunday evening, during which he was forced to hunt for tokens inside a camper van of snakes using only his mouth. The Brexit leader once daubed “Nasty Nige” by Britain’s far-left has already received praise from the show’s viewers, with many remarking that the former leader of UKIP “comes across really well.”
“You know what, I don’t agree with his politics, but Nigel Farage comes across really well on I’m A Celeb,” said one viewer.
“Watching I’m A Celeb and Nigel Farage seems to be such a chill dude. Like him a lot,” stated another.
Farage has in fact been trending on social media for days now, with his presence on the show eclipsing almost all other news items in the country.
The show itself has been running since the early 2000s, with millions of people tuning in to watch celebrities undertake survival-themed trials and challenges every year.
Farage is believed to have received upwards of £1.5 million ($1.869 million) for participating.
