Nigel Farage has opened up about his time in the I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, revealing one trial that went horribly wrong and left him and Tony Bellew feeling horrifically ill.
Opening up about how ITV had messed up with the drinking trial Down Your Sorrows on day seven, Nigel revealed that he had made them change it midway through the challenge because it was too tough and dangerous for their health.
He explained: "The drinking challenge was a nightmare they will never repeat. They know they got it wrong. They made us seriously ill. Tony was throwing up all afternoon and all evening. He was chucking his guts up.
"I was – and this was one of the biggest piss-takes in camp – I was lying there propped up against the log for hours going, 'bleurghhh'.
"They all took the piss out of me. they were all going, 'Chuck it up. You'll be far better chucking it up'. And I didn't chuck it up. I probably should have chucked it up really. I should have probably done that."
The former politician continued: "Tony was spewing for hours. They had doctors watching and psychologists watching a lot.
"It wasn't drinks, it was more like porridge. The first drink I had, you could have poured it upside down quickly and it wouldn't have fallen out.
"I said to Ant and Dec, after three, I said, 'Alright…I quite like a pint but… you told me this was a time unlimited trial.
"So I'm going to drink all six. Tony might end up in hospital but I'm going to drink all six. But you might be here till three o'clock because I cannot take the weight of this heavy stuff'.
"So what they did is they liquefied the last three pints so they were less stodgy. I necked all of the last three and I think they got that trial wrong and they will never repeat it."
OK! have contacted representatives for ITV for comment.
Nigel proved a rather controversial addition to this year's I'm A Celeb line-up, with his participation causing a number of viewers to "boycott" the series.
Comedian Katherine Ryan was among those boycotting the show as she labelled the former UKIP leader "very dangerous."
The show was also hit with a number of Ofcom complaints about the former UKIP and Brexit Party leader.
