A war of words has broken out between Nigel Farage's lawyers and ITV – with a legal letter being sent to the channel over their decision to air naked footage of the wannabe MP in the shower. According to a new report, furious aides of former Brexit campaigner Farage claim there is an "indecency clause" in his contract which bans the channel from showing footage of him nude. On Monday night's show, Nigel's bottom was seen by millions of viewers as he took a jungle shower, the moment also surprised fellow campmate Josie Gibson who had been walking past at the time.
When it happened a second time, when he was in the bath a few days later, his lawyer claimed the agreement had been broken. They have now sent a letter of complaint to ITV, but in response sources at the channel told the Mail On Sunday no such clause exists and the footage is not in breach of his contract. A source close to 59-year-old Nigel was quoted as saying: "The legal team were not exactly over the moon about the naked scenes being shown.
It simply broke the clause in the contract. "Nigel will be surprised at the incredible reaction to it when he comes out because, as always, he is just being himself in the jungle. Who knows – maybe he could even do a calendar next year." Both ITV and the spokesman for Nigel have so far declined to comment officially on the letter.
But ITV sources deny the clause exists and some staff on the show are said to be unhappy at the developments. Nigel was seen as a controversial pick for the jungle, particularly given his fee being around £1 million. The first time Nigel was seen on screen naked he was also by by camp mate Josie Gibson.
