Tony Bellew’s past tweets about Nigel Farage are dredged up as he enters the jungle on I’m A Celebrity… with former boxer calling his new campmate a ‘maniac’ and accusing him of enabling racism

• Tony Bellew will come face-to-face with Nigel Farage in the I’m A Celeb jungle
• Viewers unearthed a 2022 spat between the ex-boxer and the politician online  
• Fred Siriex has already challenged Farage and fans wait to see Bellew meet him 

Viewers are predicting a potential feud between Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage on I’m A Celebrity after unearthing a Twitter spat between the two from last year. 

Keen-eyed sleuths noticed that Bellew branded Farage a ‘maniac’ and accused him of enabling racism after the politician posted a Twitter video claiming London, Manchester and Birmingham were ‘minority white cities’.

The former boxer was plunged into the Australian wilderness on Thursday night and will cross paths with the ex-UKIP leader in camp. 

Some fans are on tenterhooks to see if Bellew comes to verbal blows with Farage – or more. 

‘Tony Bellew vs Nigel Farage is a fight we all want to see!!’ wrote one user on X, formerly Twitter. 

Nigel Farage posted a video online last year claiming that London, Manchester, and Birmingham are ‘majority white cities’ 

Tony Bellew hit back, calling him a ‘maniac’ and arguing that people like him are why racism exists 

The ex-boxer will come face-to-face with Farage in the jungle – ideally without pigs’ testicles in his mouth – after their 2022 Twitter spat 

‘A starving hangry Tony Bellew in an arms reach of Nigel Farage could be quite something. Buzzing for Bellew, all he wanted after his last fight was to be left alone & out of the spotlight,’ one wrote. 

‘Tony Bellew vs Nigel Farage for the next 2.5 weeks,’ wrote another with a popcorn emoji, suggesting they’d be kicking back to watch the feud. 

‘Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage is something I need to see tbf,’ another said. 

Farage claimed in his video, posted on Twitter, now X: ‘There is a massive change in the identity of this country that is taking place through immigration.

‘But here’s the real point of this. The ONS now say in future, they will not ask of the nationality or birthplace of those taking part in this census. One in six in England and Wales are already born outside the UK. In future, they want to hide the true figures from you. It’s a scandal.’

Bellew took aim at Farage, replying: ‘Why does someone’s colour matter? Who cares if you’re white, black, yellow or pink? All that matters is are they good or no good people! 

‘Learn to see people for who they are and not what they look like! It’s because of people like you that racism still exists! Absolute maniac you are!’ 

Fred Siriex has already confronted the GB News host over Brexit, calling his campaign ‘shameful’. 

Bellew was inducted into tropical life alongside Frankie Dettori in a Bushtucker Trial that saw pig testicles hanging out of his mouth.

The two newcomers had to carry the sweet treats in their mouths across an obstacle course, with Dettori coming out on top – but at what cost to his taste buds? 

Farage is being paid around £1.5million for his presence in the jungle and has already been voted to go through its troubles by the public 

Explaining his decision to enter the competition, Bellew said: ‘I’m going into the jungle because it’s a challenge and I love a challenge. I’m a serial winner, I hate to lose.

‘I’m not going to give in. I’ve faced many different things in my life and now the jungle is next, let’s see what you’ve got for me.’

The campmates have been divided into two teams, with Bellew and Dettori leading each one, to undergo various challengers over the next few days.

Farage is believed to be earning a bumper £1.5million for his appearance on the ITV series. 

He has already thrown himself into jungle life. 

The Brexiteer gagged as he was forced to tuck into a sheep’s udder and cow’s teat while taking a trip to the jungle pizzeria alongside TikTok producer Nella Rose. 

They were invited to sit at a table for two in the first Bushtucker Trial, which was voted for by members of the public.
