I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! bosses have reportedly predicted a fallout between Nigel Farage and a campmate who branded him ‘irrelevant and useless’.<\/p>\n
The hit reality series returns to ITV on 19th November and ITV bosses are already bracing themselves for a major head-to-head.<\/p>\n
According to The Sun, Nigel, 59, is likely to clash with Fred Sirieix, 51, of First Dates, who wrote in a 2017 tweet that the National Assembly of France deputy Marine Le Pen was ‘as irrelevant and useless as her friend @Nigel_Farage’.<\/p>\n
In another 2017 tweet, Fred wrote: ‘Farage is a coward who likes money, attention & the sound of his own voice far too much. Definitely not a selfless idealistic revolutionary.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fred rose to fame as the Ma\u00eetre d’ in the Channel 4 dating show, a role he secured due to his decades of work in Michelin-starred restaurants.<\/p>\n

Almost here:\u00a0The hit reality series returns to ITV on 19th November and ITV bosses are already bracing themselves for a major head-to-head\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bad blood:\u00a0Nigel is likely to clash with Fred Sirieix, 51, of First Dates, who wrote in a 2017 tweet that the National Assembly of France deputy Marine Le Pen was ‘as irrelevant and useless as her friend @Nigel_Farage’<\/p>\n
In 2018, he wrote: ‘In a taxi. Nigel Farage on the radio. Just politely asked the driver to switch to @vibesfm’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is not known exactly where Fred’s dislike of Nigel comes from but he did voice support for Britain remaining in the EU while Nigel was a staunch Brexiteer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fred has been open with his issues with the Home Office over the years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2019, he wrote: ‘.@patel4witham @ukhomeoffice Just got a letter from updates@apply-for-eu-settled-status.homeoffice.gov.uk apparently you need proof I have been in the UK for last 5 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He continued: ‘Is this a joke? I have lived here for 27 years continuously.’<\/p>\n
Fred called Brexit ‘a con’ in 2021 and said the outlook for the UK food and restaurant industry was ‘grim’.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Nigel is known for his controversial opinions, his inflammatory speech, and his fierce Remain stance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He once called Brexit: ‘the greatest moment in modern British history’.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Not a fan: Fred has a history of criticising Nigel to his hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter\u00a0<\/p>\n

Home Office issues: Fred opened up about his issues with the Home Office as a French immigrant<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, bosses\u00a0are also said to be in crisis talks with Nigel’s team after he raised concerns about the show’s\u00a0cigarette ban.<\/p>\n
In an attempt to keep the former politician interested, producers are reportedly considering changing this rule for him.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Paper Cuts podcast, political journalist Ava Evans said: ‘Would you like some insider knowledge of why Nigel Farage was considering not doing it? It is the smoking ban. You can’t smoke and he is a very heavy smoker.’<\/p>\n
‘Will they let him smoke at the back?’ host Miranda Sawyer asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I think that’s being negotiated,’ Ava replied. ‘That was a discussion that Chris Moyles\u00a0also had last year because he is also a very heavy smoker.’<\/p>\n
