ITV has been hit with more than 1,000 complaints after signing controversial politician Nigel Farage for I'm A Celebrity. <\/p>\n

Nigel, 59, was seen\u00a0touching down in Brisbane\u00a0at the weekend ahead of the new series of\u00a0I'm a Celebrity.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

But now campaign group Best for Britain have called on people to boycott the show, after it was reported that Nigel is being paid a staggering \u00a31.5m for a stint in the jungle.<\/p>\n

They insisted that giving a\u00a0"divisive populist like Farage a nightly primetime platform is not good for our country".<\/p>\n

It has launched a\u00a0new campaign\u00a0calling on the public to pledge to boycott the show in opposition to its "platforming of far-right figures".<\/p>\n

It comes just one week after nine police officers were injured in London by a far-right mob during Palestine Solidarity Campaign march calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.<\/p>\n

The group has claimed that the campaign has prompted more than 1,000 people to send a written complaint to Ant and Dec.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Naomi Smith, CEO of Best for Britain, said:\u00a0"While the thought of\u00a0Farage\u00a0mingling with other creepy-crawlies may seem appropriate, anything that normalises or amplifies his toxic views must be opposed.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a weekend that saw police injured at the hands of a far-right mob, and after years of his\u00a0politics poisoning our society, we want the public to send a clear message to Ant and Dec, ITV and the media at large, that giving a divisive populist like\u00a0Farage\u00a0a nightly primetime platform is not good for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes after it was revealed that Nigel is reveiving significantly more than the former highest paid star\u00a0Noel Edmonds, who was paid \u00a3600k in 2018.<\/p>\n

Speaking with crowds as he landed Down Under, Nigel confessed he \u201clapsed on being teetotal\u201d on the plane with a G&T.<\/p>\n

Having a swifty or two could have been to calm his nerves, having admitted\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0"terrified of everything in Australia".<\/p>\n

He told The Sun: "I can't confirm I am doing it [I'm a Celeb] but I might be.<\/p>\n

"I just think there is a big young audience out there that watches the programme which are worth talking to.<\/p>\n

"I have been messing about on TikTok for the last few months and you would be surprised a lot of young people out there are interested in what I have got to say."<\/p>\n

The Sun revealed Nigel will join the\u00a0full I'm A Celebrity 2023 line-up\u00a0in camp this weekend, with politicians, influencers and daytime stars being thrown into the nation's most famous camp.<\/p>\n
