Grace Dent’s insensitive tweets
In a shocking turn of events, I’m A Celebrity contestant Grace Dent has come under fire for making sick “jokes” about her co-star Nigel Farage’s near-fatal plane crash. The MasterChef food critic, known for her witty remarks, cracked jokes about Farage within hours of him being rescued from the wreckage. A source close to the politician called Dent’s tweets “crass” and criticized her for making light of such a traumatic event.
A tasteless reaction
Farage, who feared burning to death after his aircraft crashed into a field in Northants in 2010, is likely to be less than impressed with Dent’s reaction. One of Dent’s tweets read, “I hope none of the people who saved Nigel Farage’s life today were pesky immigrants.” She also added, “Ukip claim Nigel Farage crash brought about by nonsensical European laws of gravity.” These comments have sparked outrage and backlash from both fans and critics alike.
The aftermath
Farage’s spokesperson has declined to comment on the matter, and Dent has not yet responded to requests for a statement. It is clear, however, that Dent’s attempt at humor has missed the mark and caused unnecessary distress to Farage and those who witnessed the horrifying crash. Dent’s insensitivity towards a life-threatening incident has left many questioning her judgment and empathy.
Nigel Farage’s harrowing experience
The 2010 plane crash during the General Election left Farage with major injuries, including a fractured sternum, ribs, and two vertebrae. The pilot of the aircraft, Justin Adams, tragically passed away a few years later. Farage’s mother, Barbara Stevens, revealed in 2019 that her son prayed for a quick death as the plane plummeted towards the ground. This traumatic event continues to affect Farage to this day.
It remains to be seen how Dent’s controversial remarks will impact her time in the jungle and her interactions with her fellow contestants. Only time will tell if she can redeem herself and make amends for her insensitive comments.
