NIGEL Farage’s “secret girlfriend” WILL be THRILLING to support him on I’m A Celebrity, in a move that would finally confirm their six-year relationship.
The former Ukip boss, 59, has been linked to French politician Laure Ferrari, 44, since 2017, but the pair have never gone public with their romance.

Laure is part of a group of friends and family expected to fly to Australia’s Gold Coast over the next two weeks
But The Sun can reveal Laure is part of a group of friends and family expected to fly to Australia’s Gold Coast over the next two weeks – essentially confirming their union.
A source said: “Nigel and Laure have been linked for years, since she first moved into his house in Chelsea and was seen taking out the bins.
“Nigel has never confirmed the nature of their relationship and is incredibly reticent about his family life, but there was a feeling that if there was ever a time for him to open that door, it was now.
“It seemed like a big step for Matt Hancock to invite his controversial girlfriend Gina Coladangelo to Oz last year, but the move turned out to be a PR masterclass and went some way to redeeming himself after their isolation-busting affair.
“Of course plans can change, but at this stage Laura has a flight booked.”
When Laure was first pictured in February 2017 at Farage’s £4million home in Georgia, he dismissed the idea of a relationship as “unbelievable” as he had just announced his split from his wife of 18 years, Kirsten.
Laure, who is 15 years younger than Farage, met the politician ten years earlier, in 2007, when she was 28 and working as a waitress in Strasbourg.
He then appointed her as a parliamentary assistant, and from there she became the PR director of Farage’s Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy parliamentary group.
In 2017, she led a Eurosceptic think tank that was accused of illegally diverting £400,000 of public money to UKIP – ahead of the UK general election and Brexit referendum.
Amidst these allegations, the pair were seen enjoying a drink together in a London pub.
Farage has consistently denied claims of a romantic relationship, telling one newspaper: “She’s someone I’ve worked with and known for a long time who wanted to stay somewhere for a week that wouldn’t cost her any money.
“It is a working relationship. You can inflate it however you want.”
But months later, in June, grainy footage showed the Brexiteer slow dancing with Laura at a party to mark the first anniversary of the historic Leave vote.
At the time, an onlooker told The Sun: “There was no doubt they were a couple. Laure was showing off quite a bit.
“She seemed to be twerking a bit and was around Nigel. Judging by the look on his face, he loved every minute of it.”
Despite sharing his thoughts on immigration, Brexit, Boris Johnson and even jungle gangs, Nigel’s personal life has so far been kept out of bounds.
A representative for Nigel Farage declined to comment last night.
Meanwhile, a row broke out after Nigel’s team sent a legal letter to ITV for showing him naked in the shower on I’m A Celebrity.
They claim that the numerous scenes of Farage naked violate the alleged “indecency” clause in his contract.
Now defiant workers laughed off the approach as bosses continued to air a series of similar scenes.
Since the letter was filed, footage of the politician in his underpants and in the bathtub has been broadcast.
A source told The Sun: “There is no such clause. This pissed everyone off, to be honest – don’t worry, there’s sure to be plenty more naked Nigels to come.”
A show source added: “All the celebs are fully informed before they enter the camp that there are cameras everywhere, except dunny.”
On Saturday night’s show, footage showed Nigel washing himself in the sink in his boxers.
Grace Dent laughed: “The worst thing is that… it’s completely normal to me. I feel like I’ve always seen Nigel Farage in his pants. I just feel like it’s always been a part of my life.
“I can’t remember a time before Nigel Farage in his trousers.”
A place in the jungle
FORMER boxing champion Tony Bellew said of his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2018: “He didn’t knock me out… I get up at six but thank God the referee didn’t let me go on because he would have killed me.
“The judge literally saved my life. The next hit will probably put me away forever.”
