Dear Jack,

As I write this letter, I am travelling at 30,000 ft from London Heathrow to Brisbane, Australia. By the time you receive it, you will know the rumours are true and I will indeed appear on ITV’s I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Whilst it’s an offer that’s been made to me many times over the years, this year I gave it real consideration.

The Brexit referendum was now a long time ago, and a lot of younger voters don't know who I am or what I stand for. This is an opportunity to reach them.

It will also be a big test for me personally, away from the news, mobile phones and the internet for the first time in 20 years.

The offer is also a very good one, and what’s wrong with that? It looks like Coutts might even want to take me back after all!

The thought of doing certain bush tucker trials doesn’t thrill me, but I am used to dealing with snakes and other horrible reptiles both in the European Parliament in Brussels and at Westminster over the years…

In order to connect with a new audience and win, I will need your support. When the voting begins,  please keep me in the jungle by calling the number, or download the I’m a Celeb app for 5 free votes.

Thank you,

Nigel Farage 

Reform UK Honorary President
