ITV I’m A Celeb’s Nigel Farage tells campmates he had women ‘throwing themselves at him’
I'm A Celebrity's Nigel Farage has opened up about the time he nearly died in a plane crash and also his experiences while serving as an MEP.
During a conversation with co-star Josie Gibson, the former UKIP leader, 59, admitted the first thing he thought of when he feared dying in his 2010 plane crash was "women".
This Morning host Josie, 38, asked Nigel: "Did your life flash before your eyes?". He replied: “Do you know what I thought about? Women."
Shocked, Josie continued: "Women? Really? Which one you loved the most?". Farage replied: "All that stuff, yeah. Children obviously and just thought, ‘Let’s hope this is over quickly."
Josie added: “You just think you’re about to die and all you think about is love". Nigel replied: “Very interesting."
In the Bush Telegraph Josie reflected on her conversation with the former politician. The mum-of-one said: "The thing is he said women, not woman!"
Nigel continued: "Then it was bang, cartwheeling through the air and then stuck, upside down in the seat, everything broken, in a bad way. Then I thought, if I get through this it’ll be a miracle. After that, I never let little things annoy me."
Nigel then moved on to speak about his time at the European Parliament and bragged about his huge daily allowance to spend on lavish food and drink.
Nigel told Josie: "For the MEPs, it’s an amazing lifestyle. You get to the airport, there’s a chauffeur-driven Mercedes waiting for you. You want to go out for dinner the chauffeur takes you. You get 300 euros a day spending money, cash.
"The members dining room, wonderful crab and lobster buffets… yeah! Every day! The Ukip table was often the noisiest in there because we drank and had a laugh. People looking at us in horror.
"And if you’re an MEP the power that you have is incredible. You are treated like the elite. Women throwing themselves at you."
Josie asked: "Really? What a nightmare it must have been for you, Nige", Nigel replied: "Terrible, awful."
In the Bush Telegraph Josie added: "I wouldn’t have thought that Nigel would be the lady magnet that he is but sounds like to me he’s had to bat them off at one point. Yeah…"
