Nigel Farage red faced after falling victim to teenage boy's very rude prank

A cheeky teenager who 'hates' Nigel Farage gave his mum more than a surprise when he sent her a video of him pranking the Brexit Party leader.

Robin Marshall, 16, tracked down Mr Farage at Valenti's Gelato in Plymouth, under the pretence that he wanted to film a special message for his mum when the politician visited on Thursday afternoon.

After persuading the former UKIP leader to pose for the selfie video, Robin is then seen sticking up his middle finger in Mr Farage's face, Plymouth Live reports.

Mr Farage was in Plymouth campaigning ahead of the European elections.

In the message, a smiling Mr Farage says: "Hi Katy, [I'm] here with your lad.

"I hope you're going to vote for the Brexit Party."

But he then turns around to see a laughing Robin doing the rude prank.

Robin's mum Katy said: "I couldn't believe it, he said he had a surprise for me and I thought it was going to be something nice. I was not expecting that.

"I hate Nigel Farage so it wasn't a nice surprise, Robin feels the same so he knew exactly what he was doing.

"He is such a prankster so I wasn't surprised. He just pretended he had a nice treat for me."
