TV Crew Concerned About Farage’s Airtime
The hit reality TV show, I’m a Celebrity, is facing its biggest behind-the-scenes row yet over former UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage’s recent naked shower scene. Crew members are reportedly worried that Farage’s political views are at odds with many working on the show, but acknowledge that he has become the most interesting character in the jungle.
Nigel Farage Steals the Limelight
Nigel Farage wasted no time in making a splash on the show, stripping naked less than 24 hours after entering the jungle. His bare bottom caused a stir among campmates, with fellow contestant Josie Gibson declaring, “I’ve seen worse.” Insiders reveal that Farage’s bold move has made him the star of the show so far, sparking interesting conversations in camp.
A Dilemma for Producers
The show’s producers now face a dilemma. While Farage’s antics make for great television, they are aware of the outcry over his casting and the controversy surrounding Brexit and immigration. Some production staff are reportedly annoyed at having to give Farage so much airtime, while others recognize his entertainment value. The decision to embrace him as the star or limit his screen time remains uncertain.
Outrage and Controversy
Nigel Farage’s inclusion in the show, for a rumored £1 million fee, has sparked outrage among some viewers. A campaign calling for a boycott of the series was launched in response. Farage’s naked shower scene has only added fuel to the fire, with some on set perceiving it as a “bare-faced cry for attention.”
Farage’s Reaction
According to his friend Alex Phillips, Farage likely had no idea that his bare bottom would be shown on television. Despite the controversy, Farage’s boldness and lack of shyness have gained him some admiration among campmates and viewers alike.
