Nigel Farage receives warm welcome after leaving camp<\/h3>\n

Jake Quickenden has shared that he thought ex-politician Nigel Farage would win I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! on Sunday evening. The former UKIP leader came in third place whilst Sam Thompson was crowned King of the Jungle.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively with Express.co.uk, Jake spoke about how he watches the ITV show every single year since he appeared as a contestant in 2014. He was the runner-up in his series to racer Carl Fogarty.<\/p>\n

Jake has said that the top four remaining campmates were all worthy contenders to be crowned champion this year, but admitted that Nigel in particular “surprised him”.<\/p>\n

“I think any of the last four could have won. I mean, I think Tony did great going in there late,” Jake started. “But Sam was just positive and people like to see positivity. I’m really happy for him. I know that he will be buzzing.<\/p>\n

“And I was surprised with Nigel. I don’t agree with a lot of things he says but I just watch it as an I’m A Celebrity viewer. And I kind of try and forget about everything else that goes on in the outside world.<\/p>\n

“And I just say like, it’s nice to try and give somebody a chance in the jungle as a jungle participant. And as far as a jungle contestant again, he got stuck in and did well in the trials.”<\/p>\n

Speaking about Grace Dent and Jamie-Lynn Spears leaving the camp early on medical grounds, he said: “I think they were quite shocked at how hard it actually is. Obviously, people only see an hour on the TV, but you’re in there 24 hours and this year they had a horrendous time with rain.<\/p>\n

“And honestly the one time that I felt down in there is when it was p**sing down. My sleeping bag was wet. And I was like – this is actually awful. Like, I’m knackered and I’m hungry.”<\/p>\n
