‘I’m a Celebrity’: Nigel Farage Confirms He’ll Avoid Certain Challenges Due to Injuries

Highly-anticipated series returns with star-studded cast

All eyes will be on ITV on Sunday evening as the highly-anticipated new series of ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ finally gets underway. A diverse cast of celebrities, including several well-known figures from the world of sport, will embark on an adventure in the Australian outback, vying for the coveted title of King or Queen of the Jungle.

A Star-Studded Cast

Among the confirmed contestants for the new season is former UKIP and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage. Farage is rumored to be the highest-paid contestant in ‘I’m A Celeb’ history, reportedly pocketing a staggering £1.5 million for his appearance. Other notable contestants include Britney Spears’ sister Jamie-Lynn Spears, TV personality Josie Gibson, singer Marvin Humes, singer Nella Rose, and Michelin-starred chef Fred Sirieix.

Sports Stars Join the Fray

The rumor mill has been abuzz with speculation about the potential participation of two sporting legends: former world champion boxer Tony Bellew and horse racing icon Frankie Dettori. While neither has officially confirmed their involvement, their inclusion would certainly add an exciting new dimension to the show.

Farage’s Physical Limitations

In an interview with The Sun, Farage revealed that he will be exempt from certain physical challenges due to injuries sustained in past accidents. “Anything involving weightlifting, I’d be out because I’ve obviously had some quite serious physical injuries and neck reconstructions and goodness knows what else,” said Farage, referring to a life-threatening plane crash he survived in 2010. “So they are fully aware that I’m a little bit damaged when it comes to bodily structure. But having said that, I can still do most things.”

Bellew’s Reality TV Experience

For Bellew, ‘I’m a Celebrity’ will mark his second reality TV venture. Last year, he took part in Channel 4’s grueling ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’ but was eliminated after failing to disclose information about his fellow contestants during an interrogation. His participation in ‘I’m a Celebrity’ is sure to bring both excitement and intrigue to the show.

Conclusion

The new series of ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ promises to be an exhilarating and unforgettable experience, filled with laughter, drama, and plenty of surprises. With a star-studded cast that includes Nigel Farage, Jamie-Lynn Spears, and potentially Tony Bellew and Frankie Dettori, viewers are in for a wild and unpredictable ride. Tune in on ITV on Sunday evening to witness the start of this highly-anticipated adventure.
