Nigel Farage’s I’m A Celeb voting strategy exposed as he begs to stay in camp
Nigel Farage has come up with a clever strategy to keep himself in the jungle.
The former Brexit campaigner and current I'm A Celebrity contestant pre-recorded a bunch of videos explaining to his fans how they can vote for him. In one video, created with GB News, Farage is seen in a suit against a jungle-themed backdrop. Despite being a staunch advocate for leaving during Brexit, he says in the video: "I'm asking you to vote remain, no seriously, vote for me to remain in the jungle. Now the easiest way to do it is to get the I'm A Celebrity app that gives you five free votes or you can phone or text."
This video is featured prominently on the GB News website and will also be shared on Farage's social media platforms, complete with details of phone lines to encourage more votes. A shorter version has been made for TikTok and X, where Farage says: "Yes it's me, Mr Brexit, saying vote remain, please vote for me to remain in the jungle."

While other celebrities are urging their fans to vote through photos and text messages on social media, Farage has taken it a step further with his pre-recorded videos. Viewers vote each night to "save" their favourite celebrity, and the one with the least votes will be the first to leave tonight.
Farage, 59, is a seasoned campaigner with a history of both victories and defeats. He served as the Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for South East England from 1999 until the UK's departure from the EU in 2020. Despite running for the House of Commons seven times, Farage has yet to secure a win. His attempts include losses in Eastleigh (1994), Salisbury (1997), Bexhill and Battle (2001), South Thanet (2005), Buckingham (2010), and South Thanet again in 2015, where he secured 32% of the vote.
His daughter, Isabelle Farage, known as Izzy, who is currently in Australia, may not be voting for him. She expressed her desire to spend time with him Down Under if he exits before the finals next weekend. She said: "I think he could do really well in the competition. But I'm selfishly hoping he comes out fairly soon and I can give him a hug because it's been so strange to see him in this environment, but he's done so well we're all so proud of him."
