Nigel Farage matched Matt Hancock’s third place on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here – 17 utterly unsympathetic reactions
Nigel Farage‘s controversial stint in the jungle is over – as is I’m a Celebrity, Get me Out of Here, at least for this year.
This is the moment Ant and Dec announced the new King of the Jungle.

Farage wasn’t even the runner-up. Like Matt Hancock in 2022, he came third.
Despite a huge push by his supporters to crown him king of the jungle, Nigel Farage leaves I’m A Celebrity in third place.
Does that stall the momentum of a return to frontline politics? His backers had framed it as his big pitch to the voters.

The usual suspects opted for their own version of reality.
Most people, however, enjoyed seeing the seven-times general election losing TV presenter face another loss.

Nigel Farage came third? In a season of I'm A Celeb that saw it's viewership down by a quarter compared to last year? Third place? Ah m8 that's the Hancock position. And a few weeks later he released a book that sold 3000 copies. Ahhhhhh m8. Nige. That cost ITV £1.5million.

Congrats to Nigel Farage on losing a public vote for the 7th time, this time to an irritating reality TV halfwit in the lowest-rated series of I’m A Celebrity. And for ending up engulfed with snakes, an appropriate final humiliation for the biggest snake in Britain. pic.twitter.com/HYePi7ztFO

So, apparently, Nigel Farage doesn’t speak for the silent majority in Britain, it’s this bloke from ‘Made in Chelsea’. https://t.co/EEC6JWP7R8

So Farage sacrificed his dignity, lay down with snakes, ate udders, tried to suck up to everyone, and still didn't win I'm a celeb.
That's gotta hurt.
Particularly after GB News flew a whole team out there to promote him to get their viewer to vote. What are they going to say?

Nige finishes third. Just like Matt Hancock last year. Some may have overestimated the significance of I’m a Celeb.

Will he also not win in real life? Yes pic.twitter.com/0WVf86YzYU

Personally, I don't think TV presenters who've failed 7 times to become an MP and once to become King of the Jungle should be allowed to express an opinion on anything other than How to Lose https://t.co/rzWqyUBM8B
