Nigel Farage tricked again as he is caught referencing rebel song after RTE Claire Byrne grilling

Nigel Farage has been tricked for the third time just days after his latest video message disaster.

The former UKIP leader recorded yet another personal message for so called ‘fans’ in which he referenced a Wolfe Tones rebel song.

In the Cameo video, Mr Farage wishes an Australian group the best of luck as they embark on the 'amadán' fundraiser.

The message was said to be from Garryowen and mentions of ‘Sean South’ in reference to the Wolfe Tones song Sean South from Garryowen.

Mr Farage said: “Good luck to all involved in the amadán fundraiser hiking overnight at Amma mountain in New South Wales until dawn on Friday.

“A lorry load of volunteers set off on Thursday, and the leader of the gallant band is Sean South and this message comes from Garry Owen".

Mr Farage has been using the celebrity message service to deliver personalised messages to those who request them for a fee.

He currently charges €86 per video and €1,290 for business shout outs from his Cameo account.

Earlier this month, Mr Farage was pranked as he recorded a message addressed to Gerard in reference to former Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams and referred to Brighton where an IRA bomb targeted British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

In the video, he said: "They want to wish you a very happy 71st birthday and they’re looking forward to seeing you and some of the old team back at tiocfaidh ár lá’s in Brighton.

“I’ve had the full story. You were the team leader there for many years. They now want to wish you a belated – because we kind of missed it by a couple of days – but a belated 71st birthday and they hope you’re having a very happy retirement. As do I Gerard, enjoy.”

In another video, Mr Farage says he was 'hoaxed' into ending one video saying 'up the RA'.

He said: “This message is for Brian, Brexiteer, and I hope you have a great birthday.

“This comes from your good friend.... Now, it’s a bit early in the day so all I’ve got actually is coffee but I hope you enjoy a few pints with the lads tonight. Up the ‘RA!”

The former UKIP leader has since claimed he didn't know what the slogan stood for, appearing on Claire Byrne Live earlier this week attempting to explain the situation where many were delighted to see the interviewer grill Nigel about Irish history.
