Nigel Farage gave an audience member a bizarre Christmas gift as he hosted his final show of 2023.
Farage, who placed third in ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, is back hosting on GB News as he admits to having access to “a whole new group of voters” following his TV appearance.
In this evening’s show that he hosted live from Birmingham, one member of the audience was seen receiving a strange gift from the former politician.
A man, dressed as Santa Claus, was seen walking through the audience holding a life-size cutout of Farage, which the Brexiteer then signed for audience member Jenson.
The crowd were seen laughing as he wrote a message on the cardboard cutout, before he handed it to Jenson saying: “Here you go, all yours, Happy Christmas.”
The Christmas special saw Farage dancing along to Christmas music with audience members who turned up to watch the show.
Since his appearance on I’m a Celeb, polls show he is more popular among Tory voters than Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
The poll by JL Partners for the Sun showed that Farage’s popularity has risen by five points during his stint Down Under.
He now has a net popularity of 18 with Tory voters from 2019, compared to -3 percent for Mr Sunak, though both have heavy negative ratings with all voters, -29 to -41.
Known for campaigning for Brexit before resigning and moving onto television presenting, Farage teased “I haven’t made my mind up” in regards to a possible political comeback.
He said that his 23 nights on the show had given him access to a whole new group of voters “who were 12 years old at the time of the referendum”.
Farage finished in third place, behind Tony Bellew and Sam Thompson who was crowned King of the Jungle.
