I’m A Celeb viewers reveal fear Celeb Cyclone will be ‘totally ruined’ – and it’s all Nigel Farage’s fault
I’M A Celebrity viewers are fearing the Celeb Cyclone trial will be ‘totally ruined’ – and it’s all Nigel Farage’s fault.
This year’s iconic trial is set to take place on Saturday as the final four campmates tackle a huge slip-and-slide to win stars.
But show fans are concerned that Nigel, 59, won’t be able to take part like everybody else if he makes it to the finale.
After Nick Pickard was booted off last night, one wrote on X, formerly, Twitter, “This is a fix !!!! Nigel cannot be in much longer cause that man can’t even do the cyclone !!!!!!”
Another added, “I’ve just had a thought.. if Nigel makes celebrity cyclone… Will this be the first time it’s not been completed.”
And when Nigel’s team posted his voting details, someone commented, “Done, not sure he would be able to do the cyclone tho.”
The former UKIP leader announced that he would be exempt from multiple Bushtucker trials before entering the jungle.
He’s been unable to take part in most physical challenges such as any that are required to lift heavy weights.
The GB News presenter has cheated death several times in his life and has been left with a long list of chronic injuries as a result.
But it wouldn’t be the first time a celeb has been exempt from the highly-anticipated challenge.
Back in 2018, John Barrowman‘s ankle injury forced bosses to change the Celebrity Cyclone to avoid further injury.
The modification saw John assigned a special role as ‘the keeper of the stars’, while his campmates Fleur East, Emily Atack and Harry Redknapp, had to wade through pools of murky water, clamber up a slippery hill, while having objects thrown at them and being doused with water making sure they keep hold of their star.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun before the new series kicks off this weekend, Nigel confirmed exactly what he wouldn’t be allowed to do.
“Well, anything involving weightlifting, I’d be out because I’ve obviously had some quite serious physical injuries and neck reconstructions and goodness knows what else,” he said.
“So they are fully aware that I’m a little bit damaged when it comes to bodily structure. But having said that, I can still do most things.”
Nigel added that he isn’t fazed by the Bushtucker Trials and is just planning to get on with the job when it is his turn.
“Well, you know what?” he said. “I’ll just do my best. It’s all I can do.
“I doubt that any of the trials are actually going to kill me, although I don’t think they’ll all be a bag of fun.
“But hey look, I signed up for this. It’s in for a penny in for a pound. So let’s go.”
In 2010, Nigel was famously involved in a plane crash while campaigning for the General Election.
Incredibly, despite the small aircraft flipping upside down and nosediving, he managed to stumble away.
Nigel did, however, need to have major surgery several years later on back and neck injuries he sustained in the accident.
In his 20s, he also beat cancer and he cheated death again during this period in his life after being run over by a car.
The politician is reportedly set to be the highest paid star in the show’s history thanks to a £1.5million pay check.
