Nigel Farage, the British populist who played an instrumental role in Britain’s disastrous decision to leave the European Union, is going to appear on the next season of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! Trump’s friend will take part in the British reality show alongside Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney’s sister, and eight other celebrities.

Farage’s appearance on the show comes after Britain’s former health minister, Matt Hancock, took part last season.
