The This Morning star, 38, found herself miles from the Aussie jungle as she was dropped into the scorching outback for the first challenge alongside the controversial polictian, 59.

With Josie admitting ‘I thought this was a good idea until they dropped us off in the middle of nowhere. I’ve never been so petrified.’

Tension ahead? The This Morning star found herself miles from the Aussie jungle and was dropped into the scorching outback for the first challenge alongside the controversial polictian, 59.

Laughing Nigel said: ‘Oh… didn’t take long did it? Didn’t take long. I had a feeling we’d get a bit of that!’

However Josie was quick to assure him that she was ‘only joking’. 

The Former UKIP and Brexit party leader is believed to be earning a bumper £1.5million for his appearance on the ITV series. 

The signing of the GB News star has proved controversial as he is a famously divisive figure, who is known for his right-wing views on immigration and gender pay gaps. 

Some fans are less than happy with Farage taking part with nearly many threatening to boycott the series. 

Taking to X, social media users plead their case as to why they were taking action against the show. 

One user wrote: ‘ITV notoriously choose the most heinous politicians. They secure these guests by promising to show ‘another side’ to them. 

‘There are no other sides to sc**bags like Matt Hancock & Nigel Farage & attempts to rehabilitate them for the nation is propaganda. #BoycottImACeleb’.

Jokester: With Josie admitting ‘I thought this was a good idea until they dropped us off in the middle of nowhere. I’ve never been so petrified.’ 

Speaking he mind: Before adding: ‘It can’t be worse than Brexit!’ (Nigel and Josie pictured with fellow campmate Nella Rose) 

Fuming: Former UKIP and Brexit party leader Nigel is believed to be earning a bumper £1.5million for his appearance on the ITV series – with some fans declaring they will boycott the series as a result (pictured in 2021)

‘Hancock was bad enough but I can’t even look at Farage. Do itv realise how many viewers they will lose with this decision? #BoycottImACeleb’, a second wrote.

A third user added: @ITV @antanddec @DecsMcpartlin I boycotted @imacelebrity when you put @MattHancock on your show. Now the odious @Nigel_Farage.

‘I’m livid that you give these people a voice, a platform and way to be seen. I can’t, I’m livid spitting feathers. #BoycottITV #Boycottimaceleb’.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! continues Tuesday 21 November at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
