GB News' Nigel Farage has tipped Former United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr Ben Carson for a "very big job", as Donald Trump continues to dominate the GOP primaries.
Following his second win in New Hampshire, the former US President is heading for a third victory in South Carolina.
According to the latest figures, Trump is leading the pack at 63 per cent with top competitor Nikki Haley trailing behind with just 24 per cent.
After claiming his New Hampshire victory, Trump called Haley an "imposter" and vowed to "permanently bar" anyone who contributes to Haley's campaign, speaking on his Truth Social website.

Nikki Haley claimed that the race is "far from over", and hopes to secure a win in her home state of South Carolina in February.
She added: "I’m a fighter and I’m scrappy. There are dozens of states left to go and the next one is my sweet state of South Carolina."
Donald Trump has spoken out about his potential choices for Vice President, stating he is in "no rush" with his selection.
He claimed it "won't have any impact at all" who he chooses. He revealed to Fox News that his top candidate is a "very good person" and people "won't be that surprised", but he is only "25 per cent sure" he will pick them.

Speaking to GB News, Dr Ben Carson told host Nigel Farage he has "no idea" who Trump's going to pick as his running mate.
He added that Trump has a "deep bench" of possible Vice Presidents and that he has "good political instincts".
Carson said: "I suspect it will be a a very good pick, whoever it is."
Nigel then revealed that Carson's name was suggested to him during a phone call with a large British newspaper, and a source claimed Carson is "rapidly rising up the list in horse race", thanks to his "loyalty" to Trump when he was previously in office.

When asked by Nigel if he would accept the role if Trump picked him, Carson replied: "I would certainly give it consideration.
"But there are a lot of people who are affected by what I do. I would obviously have to be in consultation with them.
Carson continued: "In one capacity or another, I will continue to work very hard to save our country. I've tried to retire twice and it doesn't work."
Nigel praised Carson's work and claimed: "There's going to be a very big job for you next time round. I don't quite know what it's going to be.
"But there's no chance of you retiring. It ain't going to happen. You're much too important to voice and you're much too calm and measured, I think not to be used."
