Former UKIP Leader Overcomes Challenges in the Jungle
Nigel Farage, the former UKIP leader, revealed that he battled a secret health condition during his time on the reality show ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.’ Despite finishing third in the competition, Farage faced an almost unbearable challenge during a Bushtucker Trial.
Drinking Challenges “Far Worse” Than Eating Tasks
Farage and fellow campmate Tony Bellew were tasked with drinking vile concoctions during the trial. Sam, who won the show and discussed the experience on his podcast, revealed that Farage approached the challenge with the determination of a pub-goer.
A Proud Bloke Tackles the Challenge
Sam described Farage as a proud and stalwart guy who wanted to show the nation that he could “muck in” and face any challenge. Despite the disgusting nature of the drinks, Farage drank them like pints and even asked for more.
Agony and Misery in Snake Rock
While Farage managed to keep the drinks down, Bellew struggled and ended up throwing up and experiencing other bodily functions simultaneously. Farage, lying on his backpack, wailed in agony as Bellew continued to suffer.
Contrasting Scenes in the Camps
Sam highlighted the stark contrast between the two camps: the grim Snake Rock and the main camp where they enjoyed pancakes and bacon. The sounds of Bellew throwing up and Farage’s moans provided comedic relief for Sam and his campmates.
Sam’s Own Health Trouble
Sam also revealed that he experienced a panic attack on the first day of camp. He initially felt overwhelmed by the whole experience but eventually acclimatized and found that everyone in the camp was supportive.
Life After the Jungle
Since returning from the show, Sam has only had one day of downtime to celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday. He splurged on a £3k designer bag to mark the occasion after being reunited with his girlfriend, Zara McDermott.
