Millions of viewers are tuning in to see the former politician and broadcaster alongside a whole host of famous faces - who do you think will come out on top?

00:00 So I've decided not to watch I'm a Celebrity this year purely because of the fact that
00:04 Nigel Farage is taking part and I just don't agree with it. I think the funds for his wages
00:09 could be put elsewhere. I understand that there should be a platform for both left side
00:13 of politics and the right side of politics but when it comes to Nigel Farage, he's in
00:17 my opinion right wing and I don't think there should be a platform for that on national
00:21 television.
00:22 I think he's a bit diverse, I think he's pretty confident, I think he knows his mind, I think
00:25 he's pretty on the ball most things so yeah, it'll be good to see what comes of it really.
00:30 I think he's not as arrogant as Matt Hancock is, he's a lot more, I'm able to listen to
00:36 him instead of, even though he might have some interesting political views, I think
00:42 he's a lot more, easier to get on with him as a person.
00:47 I love Josie Gibson, I think she's amazing and anyone who's like a real person, I think
00:54 will always do well. You feel like you've got something in common. Jamie Lee Spears,
01:00 we were saying everyone's going to go "and who are you?"
01:04 Yeah because she introduced herself as an actor rather than Britney Spears' little sister
01:08 because she is famous for being...
01:09 And the guy off the dating show, quite like him.
01:12 The French one.
01:13 Oh yeah, I like him.
01:15 This year is a very good selection of The Jungle, I'm very excited. I actually don't
01:20 know who might win this year but I wish I'll find out, yeah?
01:24 I wanted to see Nigel Farage because I wanted to see what people were going to say to him
01:28 and how they were going to react to him with regards to Brexit and all this rubbish. And
01:34 I know one person has mentioned it to him, he's not coming out with a straight answer
01:40 and I think he's trying to backtrack.
01:42 It's called I'm a Celebrity, he's not necessarily a celebrity is he? He's probably more hated
01:46 than being a celebrity I would assume.
01:49 I think Matt Hancock has set a really dangerous precedent.
01:53 That's what you want me to say isn't it? But it's true, the thing is that Matt Hancock
01:57 has set a dangerous precedent that disgraced politicians now have a second career they
02:02 can go to. I mean that's how I feel about it.
02:07 I think Danielle, the Clyde Lowler in EastEnders, I think she'll be really good.
02:13 I like Josie, I like Josie Mae but it's a different opinion isn't it?
02:20 Unfortunately he almost single handedly got us out of Europe and if you're in favour of
02:25 that he's a bit of a hero. For me he has a bit of charisma. He's perhaps a little bit
02:34 too far right for me but he seems to tell the truth and he talks a lot of sense.
02:45 To him being in there, I think he'll go far because if Hancock manages to finish third
02:58 then who knows but speaking of Armistead, half the people in there I've never even heard
03:03 of.
