ITV’s “I’m a Celebrity” viewers are expressing their discontent, threatening to switch off following Nigel Farage’s bath scene, which they deem ‘inappropriate’
Fans flocked to social media to discuss the scenes broadcasted on Thursday evening.
Fans of ITV’s I’m a Celebrity are up in arms, threatening to switch off their screens following Thursday night’s episode featuring Nigel Farage’s unexpected bath-time escapades.
Danielle Harold, the EastEnders actress, inadvertently stumbled upon Farage, 59, immersed in his bath. Startled by the sight of the politician’s bare posterior as he exited the tub, she quipped to herself, “That’s a sight… for sore eyes!”
Later, Danielle shared her unconventional encounter with This Morning star Josie Gibson, who herself had a surprising encounter with a naked Farage in the jungle shower earlier in the week. Danielle exclaimed, “I just saw something I never thought I’d see: Nigel’s bare a**e!”
Josie, unfazed, responded with a laugh, “I saw it on the first day! Considering he’s nearly 60, it ain’t too bad.” Danielle concurred, praising Farage’s physique, “He looks good, doesn’t he? Nice little bum.”
The duo then playfully chanted, “Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No… it’s Nigel Farage’s a**e!”
However, viewers watching from home expressed disappointment and took to social media to share their thoughts.
One individual tweeted: “Is Nigel Farage this year’s Myleene Klass?! Providing us with those bath views #ImACeleb.”
Another commented: “I certainly didn’t need to witness Nigel Farage in the bath, a lovely way to spoil a Thursday night #ImACeleb.”
While some fans were upset by the scenes, suggesting a double standard if it were a woman in the same situation.
One viewer stated: “ITV is going too far with these Nigel Farage bath scenes. I can’t help but think they’d never treat a woman like that… Imagine two men commentating on a naked middle-aged lady in the bath. Outrageous.”
One person concurred, stating, “If it were two men observing a woman instead of Nigel Farage in the bath, there’d be an outcry!”
Another individual expressed, “@imacelebrity is completely out of line showcasing Nigel Farage unclothed on television repeatedly. Entirely unsuitable during someone else’s bathing or showering time. @Ofcom, I trust you’ll be looking into this.”
ITV has been reached out to for their response.
