One of Kent and the UK’s most controversial characters is heading into the jungle.

Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage will be heading down under with a host of others to appear in ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

The 59-year-old, who has had many failed attempts to become an MP during his political career, will be joined by boxer Tony Bellew, famous jockey Frankie Dettori, EastEnders star Danielle Harold, This Morning presenter Josie Gibson and many more.

Mr Farage previously tried to stand as a candidate in South Thanet before he was defeated by Conservative Craig Mackinlay.

Now, instead of feuding with politcians, he will be side by side with TV legends Ant and Dec as he appears on the show.

Other celebrities who will be appearing include: Britney Spears’ sister Jamie Lynn Spears, former JLS star and presenter Marvin Humes, Made In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson, Married at First Sight host Fred Sirieix, Masterchef star and food critic Grace Dent, Hollyoaks actor Nick Pickard and influencer Nella Rose.

The show is set to return to our screens on Sunday, November 19.
