I’m a Celebrity, day 7 review: 12 disgusting drinks later, it isn’t getting easier

At just 60 minutes, this was one of the season’s most economical helpings to date. Closing in on the first week in the jungle yet another so-so episode also confirmed a few things. First, the new series has yet to take off and the contestants are generally a bland bunch. There’s nobody to boo or cheer. Instead, there is a sense of a show trudging through the motions.

Nigel Farage, though, seems to be enjoying it. Despite suspicions he might prove 2023’s Matt Hancock – the one everybody loves to hate – Nigel Farage is just another jungle bunny.

He provided moral support to Bellew as he participated alongside the bashful bruiser in the “Down Your Sorrows” contest. And he yet again bared all or – or at least a bit – while scrubbing down, to the enduring amusement of Grace Dent. But otherwise, the camp has taken him at face value. There have been few barrages at Farage over his political career.
