I’m A Celebrity viewers BEG ITV to ‘stop showing Nigel Farage’s bottom’… while some think the former UKIP leader is stripping off to get more airtime
I’m A Celebrity viewers begged show bosses to stop airing footage of Nigel Farage naked after seeing his bottom for a second time on Thursday night.
The former UKIP leader, 59, stripped off completely to take a hot bath – leaving Danielle Harold shocked when she accidentally walked past.
The scenes sparked debate on X – formerly known as Twitter – with some pleading with ITV to stop showing the naked scenes which they ‘don’t want to see’, while others theorised it might be a clever ruse on the former politician’s behalf to get more airtime.
It comes after Nigel admitted he wants to take part in trials to receive 25% of the show’s airtime.
During Tuesday’s episode, the former politician told food critic Grace Dent, 50, about his plan to reach a ‘new audience’.

Taking a dip: The former UKIP leader, 59, stripped off completely to take a hot bath – leaving Danielle Harold shocked when she accidentally walked past
He explained: ‘If you do the challenges, it’s 25% of the airtime. I’m looking at reaching a whole new audience.’
One wrote on X: ‘I don’t want to see Nigel Farage naked ANYMORE’.
Others said: ‘Nigel Farage will do anything to get more screentime’.
‘Nigel having a bath! What’s Lorraine going to say tomorrow’ and ‘Either Nigel Farage never watched and doesn’t know you wear trunks in the shower/bath or simply doesn’t give a s**t lmao’.
Lorraine was slammed by viewers for ‘body shaming’ Nigel Farage for taking a naked shower earlier this week.
Lorraine, 63, said the ITV scene broadcast on Monday’s episode was ‘traumatising’ and went on to trash his looks, claiming she was ‘astonished’ to find out ‘he’s only 59’ and saying he ‘got the face he deserved’.
EastEnders actress Danielle, 31, was visibly shocked as she spotted the former UKIP leader getting out of the bathtub, saying to herself: ‘That’s a sight, for sore eyes.’
It comes days after her co-star Josie Gibson also got an eye full when she walked past Nigel in the tub, catching a look at his bare bum.

From Nigel Farage, Jamie Lynn Spears and Danielle Harold – it’s the show’s most outspoken line-up EVER
After her own experience, Danielle bumped into Josie and said: ‘I just saw something I never thought I’d see: Nigel’s bare a**e.’
Josie laughed: ‘I see it on the first day! Considering he’s nearly 60 it ain’t too bad.’
Danielle replied: ‘He looks good doesn’t he? Nice little bum.’
Danielle in the Bush Telegraph admitted: ‘It was the weirdest feeling seeing Nigel Farage’s a**e first thing in the morning.’
Standing together Josie and Danielle said in sync: ‘Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No… it’s Nigel Farage’s a**e!’
Danielle in the Bush Telegraph added: ‘I didn’t know what it was, a tiny gap through the trees, I was like, ‘What’s that animal… oh….oh….’
Danielle doing a Sir David Attenborough impression commented: ‘Here we have Nigel Farage, politician, in his natural habitat.’
Josie joined in with the impression: ‘Long gone are the days of Brexit. He now just dwindles in the bush.’
Josie added: ‘He ain’t shy, is he?’
Josie then told Nigel: ‘We’ve all had a peek at your bottom.’
Nigel asked: ‘Is that right? It’s not too bad is it?’
Josie said: ‘It’s not too bad Nige. I tell you what, it’s not too bad.’
Walking past Sam asked: ‘What’s not too bad?’
Josie replied: ‘Nigel’s bottom.’
To which Sam responded: ‘Oh.’
Nigel further cemented his status as one of the most controversial figures in camp as he stripped totally naked in the famous jungle shower on Monday.
Television personality Nigel wasted no time in whipping his clothes off to have a wash, leaving his entire behind on show.
Walking through the camp, Josie was stopped in her tracks as she set eyes on his cheeks, with the former Big Brother winner saying in the Bush Telegraph that she’s ‘seen worse’.
