Bore of the jungle

Farage's politics will be hard to swallow

- MARK JEFFERIES

BEFORE he has even set foot in the jungle, Nigel Farage has already lost a crucial vote...

Boy George was asked to choose who he would prefer to spend time in the camp with, Farage or Matt Hancock? Tough call. But Boy George, 62, who was on I'm A Celebrity with the former Tory Health Secretary last year, told Heart Dance's breakfast show: "I'm afraid to say it would be Matt Hancock.

Still, Farage never lets losing a vote hold him back. He has stood in seven Parliamentary elections and has yet to become an MP.

In his last interview before the show begins, he hinted that he would use I'm A Celebrity as a platform to help him return to frontline politics, branding those considering boycotting the show because of him "small-minded".

He said: "My hopes are that I do well. My hopes are that I don't fall to pieces. Well, that's a fear really, isn't it? I mean, if it goes wrong, it'll be a disaster.
