Nigel Farage clashes with Fred Sirieix in the I’m A Celebrity camp as bitter feud reignites
Things got heated in camp and it wasn't due to the fire
I’M A Celebrity stars Nigel Farage and Fred Sirieix clashed in camp tonight as their bitter feud reignited.
Former UKIP leader Nigel has felt the wrath of First Dates‘ Fred multiple times in the past with the maitre d branding him a “coward” and a “liar” on social media in the aftermath of the Brexit vote.
Frenchman Fred is a staunch remainer while Nigel arguably did more than anyone to secure a leave vote.
The subject was inevitably raised in camp tonight with Fred asking Nigel: “What’s the benefit of Brexit then? If you are an average person from Britain, what’s the benefit?”
Nigel said: “To know that we’re independent, we stand on our own two feet in the world.”
Fred said: “Brexit was about immigration, I remember your poster. I thought it was shameful what you did, Nigel. Shameful.”
Nigel replied: “Sadly, sadly it was absolutely true. It was a poster showing mass young men moving illegally across borders.”
Fred said: “But it was about demonising migrants.”
Nigel replied: “No it wasn’t. In your view it was, but it wasn’t.”
To which Fred said: “It’s not only just my view.”
In the Bush Telegraph Nigel said: “I knew it wouldn’t take long, I knew politics would rear its head as indeed it did. And Fred feels very strongly about it.”
Having moved away to wash up, food critic Grace Dent told Hollyoaks‘ Nick Pickard: “Brexit was his entire idea. It’s his specialist subject. Fred’s not going to change his mind on anything.”
In the Bush Telegraph, she added: “I would 100 percent rather wash up than listen to another single word about Brexit. I was just like, ‘Oh my god, I’m going to go and put my head in that stream.’”
Staying true to his views, Nigel continued: “Brexit is about one thing and one thing only; being self-governing. We’re in charge. We can get it right, we can make an absolute mess of it but we’re in charge and the people who make those decisions we can hire and fire at elections where they have real power.”
Fred said: “I think the average person in the UK has lost out because of what you’ve done.”
Nigel said: “They haven’t lost out.”
In the Bush Telegraph Fred said: “Look, Nigel Farage is in the jungle with me. We’re bound to have this conversation. At the end of the day nothing is going to change, Nigel believes what he believes, I believe what I believe. It was only a matter of time.”
