Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage has recently revealed that he has been approached by executives at ITV 'several times' to appear on their staple show, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
And although the ex-politician turned journalist has always previously ruled out appearing on the show, he admitted that he would 'never say never' to making a shock entry.
The news follows after disgraced former Tory Health Secretary Matt Hancock this year made a last minute appearance on the massively popular show in Australia - much to mixed reviews from the general public.

Taking to his GB News show, Farage commented in response to quotes from Ant and Dec's after-show podcast, in which the hosts were urged by a fan to get him to do a stint in the jungle.
He said: "Well there's been a lot of speculation over the years about me going into the jungle. It's appeared in all sorts of newspapers. The Daily Star seems to talk about it every single year that goes by, and it is true.
"I have been approached several times by I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and I've always ruled it out. I’ve never thought it would be a good thing to do. I thought it's all rather humiliating, frankly. But I suppose you can never ever say never.
"I’d love to get actually some of your reaction, some of your feedback on whether you think I should be in the jungle, or whether you think we should leave it to people like Matt Hancock."
Elsewhere, just last week, Jacob Rees-Mogg told the same broadcaster that Hancock had made a 'mistake' joining up with the ITV show, dubbing his appearance as 'ill-advised'.
He explained: "I think the treatment he is getting has gone beyond good fun and become deeply unpleasant. And it rather worries me that people think it is funny to humiliate somebody in this way."
