I'm A Celebrity: Nigel Farage opens up on 'Brexit' plane crash that nearly killed him

The return of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is upon us.

The reality series returned to screens on Sunday night (19 November), with the third episode of the 2023 season bringing arguments, emotional upheaval and electrifying challenges.

Viewers are getting to know the new crop of celebrities decamping to the Australian outback in the hopes of being crowned this year’s King or Queen of the Jungle.

All eyes will undoubtedly be on former Ukip and Brexit party MEP Nigel Farage who, following in the footsteps of disgraced politician Matt Hancock last year, is among the stars who have entered the jungle. The controversial politician is joined by This Morning’s Josie Gibson, Jamie Lynn Spears, and YouTuber Nella Rose. You can find the full line-up of 2023 campmates here.

During Tuesday’s episode, Nigel Farage referenced the time he survived a plane crash when he was the passenger in two-seater light aircraft streaming a Ukip campaign banner behind it. He revealed that the physical injuries he incurred from that crash mean that he can’t take part in certain Bushtucker Trials in the series.

Meanwhile, things got heated between campmates when YouTuber Nella Rose, 26, accused First Dates star Fred Sirieix, 51, of treating her like a “little girl” and for making comments that he is old enough to be her dad. Nella became upset following Fred’s comments because her own father died in 2016.

Nella ducked out of Tuesday’s Bushtucker Trial, being the first campmate to scream “I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!” after she was repeatedly electrocuted as she crawled through a “claustrophobic” underground tunnel that was riddled with cockroaches.

On Wednesday night’s episode, Jamie Lynn Spears – who has been threatening to leave the jungle due to homesickness – will take part in the Bushtucker Trial titled “Climb of Cruelty”, after the public voted for her.

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm and Saturday at 9.30pm on ITV.

Watch as Nella Rose and Fred Sirieix clash over father comment

First Dates star Fred Sirieix, 51, upset YouTuber Nella Rose, 26, after saying that he is old enough to be her dad.

In the Bush Telegraph, Nella explained: “Last night after dinner Fred made a comment about him basically how he could be my dad. I took offence to that because one of the first conversations we had together was me opening up about the fact that my dad’s passed away.”

She continued: “I didn’t say anything about it last night because I was kind of just annoyed about it. So I slept on it and I kind of thought about it and I was just like, this is not the kind of person I want to be around.”

Nella decides to ignore Fred during breakfast to make a point, before asking him to ‘leave’ her alone.

Fred realised he had upset Nella and asked her what he had done.

Nella explained he’d made a comment the day before, saying: “You know that my mum’s dead, and you know that my dad’s dead. You know that, right? I’ve come to find out that every time I wanna get creative around the fire, or I want to have something my way, my own food that I am entitled to, my way, you tend to get an attitude, right?”

Fred replied: “I am so sorry. Can I just say? First of all, I am sorry I’ve offended you. I am unaware that you felt offended. I am unaware that what I said would lead to this conversation, I only said that in a way because I am older than you, I am 51 and you’re 26.”

Nella said back: “I’m not stupid, you’re not going to little girl me, you’re not.”

Nella said she had accepted his apology but concluded that the pair should not be friends.

Nigel Farage has explained the events of his 2010 plane crash that mean he is exempt from taking part in certain physical Bushtucker Trials.

In the run up to the general election in 2010, Farage was involved in a plane crash, and suffered a punctured lung, two chipped vertebrae, several fractured ribs and a fractured sternum.

Josie asked: “What were you doing at the time when you were flying a plane, where were you going?”

Nigel admitted: “Being an idiot, flying a banner.”

Fred asked: “What was on the banner?”

Nigel replied: “A Brexit message, obviously…”

Fred asked: “What was the message?”

“Vote for independence or something like that,” Nigel said.

Marvin Humes reveals how he and wife Rochelle met in their pop group days

Marvin reflected on when they first, telling his campmates: “I met Rochelle when JLS and The Saturdays were doing shows together. I’d always said to the boys, ‘I really like her, I think she’s hot’.’”

“We went to a nightclub in Ireland after doing a show together one night and we were just chatting, getting on really well. She went to the toilet, right? She left her handbag at the table with me. So then, I thought, right, got her phone out and called myself so I had her phone number. It took about three months of pestering her to get a date.”

He said that their first date was at McDonald’s car park in Wembley.

”Three and a bit years later, three kids… I’m very, very lucky.”
