I love Nigel Farage’s bottom – if you’ve got it…flaunt it, declares his secret girlfriend Laure Ferrari
NIGEL Farage’s long-term girlfriend Laure Ferrari has broken her silence about their relationship and admitted she’s in love with his bottom.
The former Ukip leader, 59, is currently fighting it out become King of the Jungle in ITV’s reality show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
His reported fee of £1.5million should bring some comfort as he endures life in the Australian jungle.
Before flying out to Australia to support the GB News presenter, Ferrari, 44, has finally opened up about their relationship.
She told the Daily Mail: “I really believe Nigel can win.
“He will be a good campmate. He is extremely tolerant of people’s little ways, and that will gain him support from the public.”
While over the years Farage has become a controversial figure with his strong Brexit views, commentators have indicated that his appearance could be winning over new fans as people see another side to him, away from the bear pit of political life.
And a quick flash of his bare bum while he took a shower didn’t cause him any harm either.
Ferrari is certainly a fan of his bum too, saying: “Nigel has a great bottom, what’s wrong with that?
“If you’ve got it, flaunt it!”
She became more reticent when probed about his arguments with his fellow contestant and YouTube influencer Nella Rose, including their discussion over the rights and wrongs of ‘cultural appropriation,’ in particular whether or not a non-Mexican should be allowed to wear that country’s national costume.
Ferrari said: “I see it as my duty to support him.
“When he was invited on to I’m a Celebrity, we talked about it.
“I saw it as a massive opportunity for him to shine. He was more thoughtful about it.
“He consulted his family and friends. It was a team effort that got him to appear.”
The pair first met in Strasbourg, in her native France, in 2007 while she was working as a waitress.
He was the leader of Ukip and an MEP for south-east England in the EU Parliament.
Even with a 15 year age gap the pair hit it off and became more than just good friends.
Ferrari said: “I was first attracted to Nigel’s values as a man. He has loyalty, empathy and never breaks his promises. I find that very attractive.”
She started working for Farage in the European Parliament before getting further involved in politics by running the think tank, the Institute for Direct Democracy in Europe which forged links with Ukip and what would become the Brexit movement.
Farage went on to become the leader of the Brexit Party and is now the president of Reform and has his own show on GB News.
In 2017, Farage amicably split from his German wife Kirsten Mehr, from Hamburg, following 18 years of marriage.
They have two daughters Isabelle, 18 and Victoria, 23.
Nowadays, Farage and Ferrari have made a £4m Georgian townhouse is a swanky part of London as their home.
While Ferrari has kept a low profile, she was outed as his lover when she was seen putting out the bins at their home.
They are rarely seen together but they have been spotted by onlookers in a chauffeur-driven Range Rover, slipping out from a party, or chatting in a pub.
Recently, rumours have been circulating that Farage could be wanting to return to the cut-and-thrust of political life with a forthcoming general election on the horizon.
While the prospect of potentially being the partner of a prime minister didn’t particularly appeal, she didn’t rule it out either.
Ferrari said: “That’s not on my bucket list.
“I would say, however, that what is happening in this country is sad and worrying. There is only one person that can do the job (of leading the country). So if he chose to go into politics again, he would have my support.”
While she said she wasn’t looking for fame and didn’t want to appear “on the newspaper front pages” she may well not have an option.
She is due to fly out to Australia to be there when Farage comes out of the jungle, either having been voted out or as the winner.
And he can’t be ruled out as being a possible winner.
A recent poll of readers of the left-leaning Daily Mirror said they were cheering him on.
Controversy has been swirling around Farage and his appearance on the show, not only for his confrontations with other stars but also his supporters who believe the popular show has not been entirely fair with their coverage of him.
They claim his air time has been reduced and a discussion with campmates about the positive aspects of his friend Donald Trump was cut out.
Ferrari said: “There are rumours that some want to make him less popular.
“But I think the show is giving viewers the opportunity to see the Nigel that I, his family and friends, know and love.”
