Nigel Farage has confirmed that has had ‘several’ offers to enter reality TV shows, and said he is ‘open-minded’ about taking part.

The comments come following rumours that the former UKIP leader could be entering the new series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here later in November.

“I have made no decisions but I am always open-minded," he told the Telegraph.

"I have spoken to several reality programmes. I have had conversations with a lot of people."

Farage is said to have been offered £750,000 by ITV to enter the I’m A Celebrity jungle, but previously told Sky News that he said “no way” to a £250,000 offer.

The Australian-set reality TV series is returning to ITV on Sunday November 13, when a group of famous faces will be entering the camp.

No names have been confirmed for the series yet, but rumours suggest that Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby, Strictly Come Dancing’s Ola Jordan, and McFly singer Tom Fletcher could be taking part.

Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews and Red Dwarf star Craig Charles are also rumoured to be coming back to the show, after they were forced to leave early in 2015 and 2014 respectively.

Matthews was removed from the show after just three days when it emerged that he had been using steroids, while Charles made an early exit when he learned of his brother’s death.
