NIGEL Farage's feud with Matt Hancock has been revealed as the politicians go head-to-head in an I'm A Celeb popularity battle.<\/p>\n

Brexit Party leader Farage has just been confirmed among the full line-up going into the Australian jungle for the new ITV series.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

And he'll hope to do better than disgraced former health secretary Hancock's third-place finish last year, having previously branded his rival a "pipsqueak".<\/p>\n

Hancock faced flak from campmates, lost the Conservative Party whip for taking part and was repeatedly voted by viewers to be forced into grisly "Bushtucker Trials".<\/p>\n

These included taking on snakes, his top fear, and eating animal parts such as a fish eye taco, a sheep vagina and a camel's penis.<\/p>\n

Farage has been warned he faces similar discomfort, including by ex-Tory MP Nadine Dorries – another former I'm A Celebrity contestant.<\/p>\n

But he has taken up the challenge after revealing he was finally considering an offer – and revelations about his frequent clashes with Hancock suggest extra motivation for performing well.<\/p>\n

Former Ukip leader Farage has often denounced Hancock over his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic while in office.<\/p>\n

Leaked WhatsApp messages earlier this year suggested Hancock's team asked whether they could "lock up" Farage, after the then-health secretary raised an alert about him.<\/p>\n

That came in response to Farage posting on Twitter a video of himself enjoying a pint in Kent, on the day pubs reopened after a partial lifting of lockdown restrictions.<\/p>\n

Farage had been filmed a fortnight earlier attending a Donald Trump rally in the United States and rules at the time meant people coming into England from overseas should isolate for 14 days.<\/p>\n

He insisted at the time he had completed 14 days of isolation and tested negative – though admitted to the Telegraph in March he was "probably in breach", but also hit out at "pipsqueak" Hancock.<\/p>\n

Farage said: "After the first set of lockdowns I wasn\u2019t really prepared for some little pipsqueak like Matt Hancock to tell me how to live my life, quite frankly.<\/p>\n

"The idea that headmaster Hancock was after me – I love it."<\/p>\n

Just a month into lockdown restrictions, back in April 2020, Hancock publicly called for Hancock to be sacked as health secretary.<\/p>\n

He talked about "the smell of failure" being in the air as he ridiculed claims about PPE supplies and NHS resources, adding: "The time has come to remove Hancock. This must happen quickly."<\/p>\n

Hancock remained health secretary until resigning in June 2021 after The Sun revealed images of him cuddling and kissing senior aide Gina Coladangelo in breach of lockdown restrictions.<\/p>\n

He left his wife Martha, mother of his three children, for Coladangelo who greeted him when voted out of the jungle last November.<\/p>\n

Farage himself has faced a backlash from some I'm A Celeb fans after his imminent arrival was announced, with some boycott vows.<\/p>\n

Hancock has announced he's stepping down from his West Suffolk seat at the next general election, amid local opposition.<\/p>\n

He's taken part in other reality TV shows while remaining an MP including Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which he described as "one of the most difficult things I've ever done".<\/p>\n
