Reform UK has told the BBC that Nigel Farage used the money he received for appearing on the reality TV show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! to purchase a £1.4 million house in 2024. The party's statement was reported by the BBC on Thursday, May 14, 2026.
Sky News had previously reported that Farage completed the purchase of the property shortly after his appearance on the show in late 2023. The BBC's report, citing Reform UK, confirmed the source of the funds.
Farage participated in the 23rd series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in November and December 2023, finishing as runner-up. His fee for the show was widely reported to be around £1.5 million.
The revelation comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Farage's finances and his role as honorary president of Reform UK. The party has not commented further on the matter.
