Nigel Farage admitted he felt “stronger and fitter than ever” as he delivered his first words since landing back in Britain after his stint on ITV show I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old made it to the final three on the Australian-based reality TV series, which was eventually won by Sam Thompson.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Farage – who rose to prominence as the beating heart of Britain’s bid to leave the European Union – touched back down in the UK, ending his time in Australia.<\/p>\n

And as he arrived back on British soil, the politician delivered his verdict on exactly what his time was like in the jungle.<\/p>\n

Farage says he left I’m a Celeb ‘fitter and stronger’ than ever<\/h3>\n

Speaking to GB News, Farage said: “Well 23 nights in the jungle and by the end of it I was 20 years older than all the other contestants that were left!<\/p>\n

“All I will say is the whole thing was a lot more physical than I would ever have believed. Even ferrying buckets of water up from the pump to the camp. All of that.<\/p>\n

“Actually, the truth is, it is the biggest detox I have ever been on. No tea, no coffee, no booze.<\/p>\n

“Lots of exercise. So after 23 nights in there, I have left it in many ways fitter and stronger in many ways than I have been since I was in school, so there is a real upside to it.”<\/p>\n

Farage’s surge in popularity has sparked rumblings that he could make a return to politics, having previously spent time as both the leader of the Brexit Party and Ukip.<\/p>\n

Among those talking up a possible return included Richard Tice, the Reform UK leader who worked with Farage in the Brexit Party.<\/p>\n

It has left some uneasy about the impact Farage could have on the current political scene.<\/p>\n

During his interview, Farage touched upon the “desperate trouble” the Conservatives were in.<\/p>\n
