The former politician was also asked about his favourite Prime Minister

Nigel Farage has revealed whether he would run for Prime Minister after fellow campmates quizzed the GB News Presenter about his political future.

The former politician laid his cards on the table when he was asked if he would ever want to take up residency in No10.


TV personality and Radio DJ Sam Thompson began by questioning Farage in camp, asking him: “Who is your favourite Prime Minister ever in your lifetime?”

The GB News presenter revealed the two Prime Ministers who have impressed him the most – one was a Conservative and the other Labour.

He said: “Really, in my lifetime, two Prime Ministers who’ve been really strong, who’ve changed the country: one’s Thatcher and one’s Blair.

“I didn’t like the way Blair changed the country at all but I have to admit he was a strong leader.

“Margaret was a very strong leader. They were tough times, but she changed the country completely.”

EastEnders star Danielle Harold then asked him: “Would you ever want to run?”

Farage replied: “I don’t know. We’ll see. Depends how much of a mess the country gets in.

“I honestly don’t know. It’s not an easy job.”

On Monday’s episode, the ex-politician laid bare what he really thinks of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The GB News presenter has already begun to stir up controversy with his take on his fellow Brexit supporter.

During a discussion with campmate Josie Gibson, Farage was directly asked what he thought of Boris Johnson.

“What’s he like on a personal level?” Gibson asked.

Harold added: “Forget politics, as a guy.”

Farage replied: “Entertaining… in small doses.

“[He’s] surprisingly introverted. You see this big act, fluffing the hair… surprising.”

Gibson continued to probe: “Is he quite a fumbler in real life, or is that just on the stage?”

Farage said: “I think he’s one of the most disorganised human beings that possibly ever lived.

“The whole thing’s bloody chaos. Shambles.”

Johnson is set to join GB News as a presenter, programme maker and commentator in January.
