Really wish that ITV hadn’t put Farage in.

This is family viewing for us in the run up to Christmas. We want to see Vernon Kay, that bloke who plays Steve in Corrie and Jill Scott being likable people having a laugh. Not dicks like Farage.

Not sure that I can stomach him, but I’ll give it a go.

Should have warmed up for Nigel by watching his news TV show prior to the main event 😉

I’m hoping he gets bitten by something early on and has to leave.

Yeah I’m conflicted but my youngest wants to watch it. It’s not the first time she’s heard me use the C word, but it could be the most in an hour. 

I just hope that the Great British Public, bless ‘em, nominate the road-faced cockwomble for absolutely everything

Re Farage agree. What gets me, is the noise around how much he’s been paid. 1) how did he command that much and 2) why did they pay it. Nuts. 

why did they pay it

Perhaps because they suspected that

the Great British Public, bless ‘em, nominate the road-faced cockwomble for absolutely everything

in which case they’ll make the money back tenfold. “Text this number if you want to see Farridge be made to eat koala ringpieces,” the mobile network will be like 11:59pm on New Year’s Eve.

Personally, my money is on him suddenly having some sort of mystery illness and regrettably quitting after the first week.

“Nigel is exempt from this challenge due to medial grounds.”

I refuse to watch Toad from Turd hall at any time,or on any channel.
However, I will be checking this thread to see how much torture and abuse is dished out by the public,and the rest of the tribe.

I wonder if Keith and Linda are watching?

Quite funny that

Just say no to fun washing proto-fascists.

Thats how we ended up with Johnson and Rees-Mogg.

It’s pissed me right off that he’s on I’m a celebrity, and I won’t be watching while that **** is on it.

I just hope that the Great British Public, bless ‘em, nominate the road-faced cockwomble for absolutely everything

Personally I’d just prefer if he got voted off the first chance people have!

I **** hate that ****. I hate his **** face!!!!

X 1,000,000,000

Please.

Jeeze. Farage and some people that nobody in the house has ever heard of. Did all the budget go on him?

I won’t be watching. Nothing to do with Farage, I just don’t watch it.

but – if somehow they could mess up and finish off where the plane crash so manifestly failed (I’m thinking a spike, a **** dirty big spike) it would have the twin benefits of no more toad and the cancelling of some terrible telly.

Don’t really watch TV, so will probably only see clips, but heard they paid him a fortune, and he has a caveat that he can’t do any trials, seems a great bargain for ITV!

Rumour has it that Farage is doing this to try and bring himself back into popularity to try and get back into the Tory party, he thinks there’s a good chance he’ll be allowed back in to be part of the far right pushback on Sunak, Cameron, etc.

He’s watched Matt Hancock on it last year and thought wow that’s done so much for his public persona…..

Obviously not watched the interrogation scene on Celebrity SAS 😂

Nope, not watching that frog-faced, nicotine-stained fascist if you paid me

I won’t be watching while that **** is on it.

So you would watch it otherwise? heheh! it’s car crash TV for desperados. Guaranteed ratings, and record numbers of premium rate text votes. It’s a win/win for the producers, no matter how you spin it.

I’m flying down to Oz in case he needs a blood transfusion. I’m first in the line.😉

Guess that opens you up to all sorts when you install it ?

You’ve not heard of any of the others? 

Not even Fred?

That’s Farage eating all kinds of horrible stuff tomorrow then. I downloaded the app to make my own small contribution to that 😃

I have dipped in, in the past when bored, but yeah probably wouldn’t actually watch it any way.
I sort of just like calling him a ****. Can’t stand looking at his **** face though!!

It has actually upset me a bit that they’ve paid him a fortune to be on there.

The best thing for Farage would have been to never be voted to do a challenge and be the first voted off.

Giving him challenges is exactly what he wants. Being ignored and voted off would have been the best outcome.

Well, if you have to ask… user data slurping is big business  😉

ITV reporting he is receiving £1.5 million, the highest ever paid.

I’m sure ITV have already done the maths, controversial twunt will bring new viewers in, even if it’s just out of idle curiosity, or for meme material.

It’s win/win for ITV.

I didn’t watch it before as it’s a puerileTV format (IMO), and I certainly won’t watch it now, lol!

I don’t like to wish ill on folk, but thats a real win win

Good article Cougar,thanks for posting.

Absolutely vile television.

He’ll fit right in.

From that article:

No one, apart from Nigel Farage, is having a good time in Brexit Britain. No one he knows, anyway. The legacy of his pathetic, xenophobic crusade is food banks, rocketing homelessness, a mental health crisis, the poor getting poorer, psychotic home secretaries stirring up hatred, drug shortages, the squashing of our right to protest and god knows what else.

The minute they paid Hancock and Farage to allow them a political and personal platform ruined the light entertainment that was Celebrity was the programs ruination.   

He’ll get his Coutts account back now as well 

how did he command that much

His first outing on Question Time was the largest viewing numbers after Nick Griffin’s appearance. Make of that what you will. 

I admit I like the show for the simple (brain switched off) entertainment and the A&D comments, but I am really struggling with the dilemma of giving F*****e (don’t want to up the SM hits more than necessary) a mouthpiece to try and inveigle his way back into politics. 🙁

PS I like the article posted by Cougar!

Meh, my family normally watches it. Everyone knows it’s not a quality show, it’s just Butlins-tier brain-off easy viewing. You can get faux-invested in some z-listers who are only on the show as they’re desperate to get back on the telly or pay a big tax bill, and not think about anything else for an hour.

Hancock spoiled last year, and I’m not watching this years. And **** ITV for giving him a redemption platform. Hope the prick gets trapped in a tank full of green ants for a few hours.

As much as i’d like to see Farage cuddling a Funnel Web, the whole thing can get in the sea.

I get that its a TV companies job to get eyeballs on the screen and that its almost impossible to debase a format that involves eating the reproductive organs of native fauna, but **** me, they have knocked it out the park this time.

Never forget who Farage is.  He’s Nick Griffin with a less awkward manner, a pinch of rhetorical flair and a nicer suit.

and a nicer suit.

Not last night. He wore classic private school army officer brat look.
