I’m A Celeb: Nella Rose and Nigel Farage discuss immigration<\/h3>\n

Nigel Farage signed up for I\u2019m A Celebrity with the hope of communicating with the British public – but he may find it easier said than done, says fellow Brexiteer Ann Widdecombe.<\/p>\n

The former Tory minister and ex-MP for Maidstone speaks from a position of experience given her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing in 2010.<\/p>\n

And she warned the erstwhile Brexit Party leader-turned-GB News presenter he would not have it all his own way.<\/p>\n

The show returned for its 23rd series on Monday, with Mr Farage joining 11 other contestants in the Australian jungle.<\/p>\n

Explaining his decision to sign up, Mr Farage – who is reported to have been paid a fee of \u00a31.5million – told hosts Antony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: “I’m known for politics, for Brexit, and I’m a hero to some people and an absolute villain to millions.<\/p>\n

“In the jungle you’re going to find the real me. You might like me more, you might dislike me more, but you will at least find out.”<\/p>\n

However, Ms Widdecombe, who was famously partnered with Anton Du Beke in series 9 of the popular dance competition, suggested it might be more difficult than Mr Farage imagined to get his point across.<\/p>\n

She told Express.co.uk: “Don’t forget the editors have the final say.<\/p>\n

“I mean, remember George Galloway went on Big Brother to talk about the Respect Party.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“But we never heard about the Respect Party because the editors wanted something different. He ended up pretending to be a cat.<\/p>\n

“Strictly was quite fun and in an odd way Nigel is probably enjoying himself on I’m a Celebrity, I\u2019m not saying he won\u2019t.<\/p>\n

“But I’m suspending judgement until we see what actually happens.”<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Mr Farage and Youtuber Nella Rose took part in the “Jungle Pizzeria” challenge, during which they were required to eat pizzas topped with cockroaches and sheep udders.<\/p>\n
