Why Piers Morgan called I’m A Celeb finalist Nigel Farage ‘a snake’

Piers Morgan has surprised viewers with his criticism of the I'm A Celebrity finalists. The TalkTV personality, 58, referred to Nigel Farage as a "snake," poking fun at his unsuccessful MP attempts. Additionally, he unkindly labeled the new winner, Sam Thompson, as a "halfwit.”

Last night, Piers penned a scathing post, extending congratulations to Nigel Farage for his seventh consecutive public vote loss—this time to a reality TV personality in the least-watched season of "I'm A Celebrity." Piers added that Farage's ordeal with snakes served as a fitting final humiliation for what he dubbed the biggest snake in Britain.

Piers elaborated on his dislike for the former UKIP leader, accusing him of attempting to undermine his efforts. In a conversation with a fan, Piers described him as a treacherous individual who, despite receiving congratulations for his own Donald Trump interview scoop, tried unsuccessfully to sabotage Piers' interview. This incident revealed Farage's disloyalty and true colors, branding him a disloyal snake.


When questioned about participating in I'm A Celebrity, Piers emphatically stated, "I'd prefer to consume my own testicles."

In the recent episode, Sam Thompson from Made In Chelsea claimed victory as the jungle king. Tony Bellew, a former professional boxer, secured the runner-up position, and Nigel finished in third place. During his last bushtucker trial, Nigel showed composure while confined in the "panic pit," an underground metal box teeming with snakes.

Farage's participation in the reality show, for a rumored £1.5 million fee, coincided with a decline in ratings, with 2.1 million fewer viewers compared to the previous year's opening episode. Political activists organized a campaign urging a show boycott, criticizing its decision to feature Farage in a series where he engaged in heated debates with other contestants on immigration. On the show's finale, Farage fueled speculation about a potential return to the Conservative Party during a conversation with another contestant.
