Lorraine Kelly has been accused of body-shaming by Nigel Farage's team, after comments made on I'm A Celebrity! Get Me Out Of Here.
The ex-UKIP leader has made headlines for multiple naked cameos on the reality TV programme, much to the surprise of viewers and contestants alike. But it was comments made by Lorraine Kelly that led to Nigel Farage's team posting on X to call for the Scottish television presenter to apologise for "body shaming".
After 59-year-old Nigel stripped down for a wash in the jungle's famous waterfall shower, breakfast host Lorraine joked about how the scene was 'traumatising' for viewers. The 63-year-old went on to explain that she was 'astonished' to find out the politician's age.

Whilst discussing the on-screen flash with former MP Edwina Currie, Lorraine quipped: "Is he only 59??! I thought he was a hell of a lot older than that. That is astonishing. You get the face you deserve thankfully. You really do."
Nigel's team expressed their outrage on X, assumedly unbeknownst to Nigel, who as a contestant of I'm A Celeb is not allowed access to the outside world (include social media). On Friday, Nigel's team wrote,
"Has Lorraine apologised for body shaming Nigel Farage yet? Imagine if he made those comments about her on live TV."
Some viewers were equally disappointed by Lorraine's comments, also taking to social media to air their grievances. One user wrote, "'I'm not a fan of Nigel, but Lorraine, that comment was below the belt. You never would say that about a woman."
Another agreed, adding, "So the gloves are off for body shaming, are they #lorraine?" Others have attacked ITV for invading Nigel's 'privacy', as he was filmed naked in the jungle once again, taking a bath.
TV personality Kim Woodburn, known for her sharp tongue, fired a response to Lorraine. On a GB News live broadcast, a disgruntled Kim clapped back at Lorraine: "She's a stupid, stupid woman….
"He is in there, he's doing a splendid job. He's polite and courteous, he's done the [Bushtucker] Trial and got every star – leave him alone. Lorraine Kelly, you ain't all that dear!"
One X user penned a tweet pointing the finger at ITV producers, writing, "'So Nigel's bottom again. So it shows he is quite happy to keep as clean as he can. Would they film and show other people I wonder? No. ITV are pathetic."
However, many viewers shared in Lorraine's horror, also using X to discuss the shock of seeing Nigel having his 'Myleen Klass moment'. One account questioned, "Why am I seeing Nigel Farage's bare a** cheeks on my screen" whilst another agreed, "In no other country would you see a politician's a** on national TV."
Another agreed, writing, "Totally didn't need to see Nigel Farage's bum on national TV."
