It was a wet and rainy camp in tonight's explosive episode of I'm a Celebrity.
True to yesterday's form, Ant and Dec opened the episode with a dig at former UKIP leader Nigel Farage. Pointing out that Farage never became an MP, the duo declared he can have the 'Munching Penis' title now.
The show sees big-name celebrities take on various challenges and tasks in the Australian Jungle in the hope of being crowned king/queen of the jungle, overseen by the show's hosts Ant and Dec.
Farage later bared all in the shower, revealing his backside to a shocked Josie Gibson.
Hosts Ant and Dec said "fair play to the honourable member", but viewers weren't as thrilled.
"Please god no! Not Nigel Farage naked #ImACeleb #ImACelebrity," one user exclaimed.
Another said: "ITV please expect to be billed for the extensive therapy I’m going to need after seeing Nigel Farage naked".
Someone else replied: "Oh god there should have been a health warning before they showed a naked Farage."
Now that’s a sight for sore eyes 👀 🌕 #ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/vHGj2mD1Fz
