Sandi Toksvig’s comments about Nigel Farage appearing on this year’s I’m a Celebrity will resonate with the countless number of people boycotting the show owing to his inclusion.
The former UKIPer became the latest politician to head to the jungle in a bid to rehabilitate his image, following in the wake of Matt Hancock, who infamously headed Down Under after serving as the health secretary during the Covid-19 pandemic.
During Sunday’s episode, Farage said when he first stood in an election he said he did not care “if no one votes” for him.
He added: “I feel better about myself for doing this. I believe I’m doing the right thing.”
While making dinner, Fred Sirieix interrupted saying: “The thing is Nigel, you destroyed the economy”, leading to a heated debate.
Speaking to the i, Sandi Toksvig was asked for her feelings on reality television, insisting she’d “never” want to appear on any of them as a contestant.
She also shared her take on I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! inviting Matt Hancock and Nigel Farage to compete, lamenting: “How can we find these men eating testicles amusing? After all that they’ve done? It’s nauseating.”
Spot on, Sandi. Spot on.
