Nigel Farage just ‘declared war’ on ITV and these are surely the only responses you need
It’s fair to say Nigel Farage’s appearance on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity didn’t go entirely to plan, neither for Farage, who ended up coming third, or for ITV, which saw its ratings take a dive.
Now the former UKIP leader has threatened to declare war on the broadcaster and its boss, Kevin Lygo, who reportedly mocked Farage while he was still in the jungle.
And it’s surely the most cringeworthy thing you’ll see this week.
If Kevin Lygo and ITV want to go to war with me then they can be my guest.
The last person who did that was Dame Allison Rose from NatWest Bank, and that didn’t end very well.
Let’s please end the nonsense, and let’s do it now! @ITV

Took us right back to when Noel Edmonds did this.

And here are just a few of the things people were saying about Farage today.

Is Nigel Farage saying it’s ITV’s fault that he only got 25% of the vote in the #ImACelebrity final?

"This morning Nigel Farage handed ITV a note stating that unless he heard an apology by 11 0'clock a state of war would exist between them. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received and that consequently Nigel Farage is at war with ITV." https://t.co/QQkMcSfQz6

Quite threatening and unpleasant, isn't he. Always remember, if this were America his supporters would all be armed. One small blessing of living in a country that still, unfathomably, tolerates this gargantuan divisive moron. https://t.co/LZ9RZ48IQ8

Win or lose, he just can’t do it gracefully can he?
