NIGEL Farage has spoken for the first time after leaving the I’m A Celebrity jungle and coming third.
Speaking to Isabel Webster and Eamonn Holmes, the GB News host spoke of his time in the jungle and his plans for the future.
He explained to Eamonn and Isabel on his exit, live from Australia: “If you said to me before this started that I’d make the final, I’d be in the final Bushtucker trial, I’d be buried underground with 20 snakes all over me and would I come out with I hope some degree of dignity and come third I would have bitten your arm off.
“I’m delighted the way it turned out, thrilled that I got through to the last round. I was the outsider.”

Nigel thanked GB News viewers for their support, he added: “I am thrilled with it, delighted. Thank everybody, particularly GB News, who I know and I’ve learnt now backed me all the way.
“Thank you everybody that supported me and voted for me, am very grateful, flattered and honored.”
When probed by Eamonn on his political plans, Nigel replied: “As for where life goes from here I don’t know – from what I can see the so-called conservative government are in a state of total shambles, rudderless, leaderless, utterly useless and headed for catastrophe at the next election.
“That’s not to say that Labour will be anymore competent. But am not going to walk out of a jungle after 23 nights and announce a relaunch in British politics frankly is for the birds.”

Isabel went onto ask about a potential team up with Boris Johnson and a bid to restore the chances of the Conservatives.
He said: “Never say never – I can’t predict right now what will happen, what I do think is that our country is being appallingly led there is no proper opposition party and we’re living through a population crisis and that really has little to do with the small boats offensive thought that is.”
Explaining his plans after a successful I’m A Celebrity competition, he said: “Over 17million people voted for lower immigration, voted for more border control and what they got was a Conservative party in hoc giant multinational businesses who want as much foreign labour as they can.

“And if you want a GP appointment, if you want to get a house for your kids, if you want to drive anywhere they’ll be stuck in a terrible traffic jam they can frankly go to hell.
He continued: “I don’t believe that any government or any political class in Westminster has been more detached.
We are living through a population crisis on a level that nobody can ever ever anticipate and immigration and numbers in Britain will become the dominant issue at the next election and over the years to come.
“If at some point when I’ve recovered from the jungle there’s a role for me to play, I wouldn’t rule it out.”
