Naomi Smith, CEO of Best for Britain, said: “While the thought of Farage mingling with other creepy-crawlies may seem appropriate, anything that normalises or amplifies his toxic views must be opposed.
“After a weekend that saw police injured at the hands of a far-right mob, and after years of his politics poisoning our society, we want the public to send a clear message to Ant and Dec, ITV and the media at large, that giving a divisive populist like Farage a nightly primetime platform is not good for our country.”
Farage will be entering the Australian jungle alongside other famous faces such as This Morning’s Josie Gibson, JLS star Marvin Humes and singer Jamie-Lynn Spears.

Speaking about his stint in the jungle, Nigel said: “Given millions hate me, I do expect people will vote for me to do trials!”
He added: “And the idea that somehow the things I represent – mean-spirited, small-minded, nasty, the ‘little Englander’ – all those accusations that have been flung at me over the years just aren’t true.
“If we can dispel some of those misconceptions, then that will be a good thing too.”
