Nigel Farage 'in talks' to take part in Channel 4's Celebrity Hunted

Nigel Farage is reportedly in talks to take part in Celebrity Hunted.

The politician and Brexit Party leader looks set to rough it and avoid detection from hunters on the Channel 4 show.

The celebrity spin-off will see its stars have to spend 14 days on the run, helping raise money for Stand Up To Cancer in the process.

A source told The Sun that the 55-year-old reckons he can win the show.

The friend told the publication: "Nigel is always inundated with offers for reality TV shows and turns them down — but Celebrity Hunted has piqued his interest.

“After seeing Stanley Johnson on the show last year, Nigel said he was more keen to do it. On his behalf his team have been negotiating a package for him."

The friend said that he had joked about the number of pubs who would open their doors for him and potentially stick him their cellars for a few hours.

They continued: "Nigel is a people person and thinks he could easily get the public on his side to help him. Plus it’s all for a good cause and Nigel knows how to laugh at himself.

“He wants to be billed as their most controversial but starry signing."

Last year, chefs Aldo Zilli and Jean-Christophe Novelli and rugby player Gavin Henson won the show.

The pair of chefs had a couple of close shaves with the hunters, who even followed them to the hospital when Jean-Christophe went to visit his son, sparking anger from viewers.

Thankfully, the pair managed to get away and win the show.
