Appearing on This Morning on Wednesday (22.01.20), host Phillip Schofield asked if he’d consider the reality show and Nigel replied: “I don’t know.”

He added that while producers “have been after” him, he wasn’t temped “because the Brexit thing wasn’t done” yet.

I’d be on every bloomin’ trial there is

However, the 55-year-old politician admitted if he did agree to join the camp, viewers would likely put him forward for plenty of Bushtucker Trials.

He laughed: “I’d be on every bloomin’ trial there is … the problem with having an opinion is, while some people love you, a lot don’t.”

Nigel – who will finish as an MEP when Britain leaves the EU on January 31 – also refused to comment on the idea he could try his hand at ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in the future.

Nigel was firmer when it came to Dancing On Ice, as he played down the suggestion he could join ITV’s figure skating competition.

He replied: “No, I’m absolutely not doing that.

“We’ll see what life brings.”

Nigel also opened up on his life before politics, describing himself as “quite normal”.
