Nigel Farage wraps up 'I'm A Celebrity' stint, reunites with partner Laure Ferrari; Here's everything you need to know about the couple

Nigel Farage concluded his adventurous journey on 'I'm A Celebrity' and was greeted by his partner, Laure Ferrari. The ex-UKIP and Brexit Party leader secured the third position, while Sam Thompson, a reality TV personality, claimed the title of King of the Jungle, followed by ex-professional boxer Tony Bellew in second place. Ferrari was among the friends and family flown to Australia to support the contestants.

Ferrari's journey into politics was sparked by a meeting with Farage in 2007 when she was 28 years old, studying English at the University of Strasbourg and working as a waitress. Their romantic involvement began in 2017 when reports emerged of them sharing a home. Farage, in response, referred to it as a "working relationship," avoiding inquiries about their intimacy, while Ferrari mentioned needing accommodation in London, and Farage extended his help.

Farage played a pivotal role in Ferrari's political career by securing her a position at the European Parliament. She worked her way up, ultimately becoming the head of public relations for the British delegation to the Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group. However, controversies regarding the misspending of EU grant funding arose concerning the organizations she was affiliated with.


Expressing her disillusionment with the European Union, Ferrari highlighted her shift toward politics following the 2005 French referendum on the proposed Constitution of the European Union. She distanced herself from far-right parties, citing differences in ideologies, particularly regarding issues like the death penalty and immigration.

During his time on 'I'm A Celebrity,' Farage encountered clashes over his political views with campmates and engaged in daring challenges, including consuming unconventional foods. His participation, reportedly earning up to £1.5m, sparked curiosity about his real persona beyond politics, a facet he hoped the show would reveal. Farage's third-place finish aligned with the achievements of other political figures in similar shows, marking the end of his thrilling jungle experience.

The show has previously seen political personalities like Nadine Dorries, Lembit Opik, and Kezia Dugdale, stepping out of their political roles into the world of reality TV. Farage's stint, marked by both revelations and challenges, brought his public image into a different light, transcending his political identity.
