"Come away with us," says the video's silky voiceover, "far, far away, into the heart of a tropical jungle." It all looks very enticing - until you come to hundreds of creepy-crawlies being poured into a trough.  

This is the official trailer for the latest series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Among the contestants is the founder of UKIPThe UK Independence Party is a populist party that was founded in 1993 with the aim of taking the UK out of the EU. and the Brexit PartyNow known as Reform UK, a right-wing populist party in the UK. , Nigel Farage.

Along with nine others he will undergo horrible endurance trials including sticking his head into a campervan full of snakes. There will be the usual disgusting things to eat such as goat feet and sheep's eyes.

"I'm a hero to some people, and an absolute villain to millions," he declared in a pre-show interview. "In the jungle you're going to find the real me."

Farage has always presented himself as a cheeky man of the people who can be seen down the pub with a pint of beer. Much of the BrexitThe UK's departure from the European Union. campaign consisted of attacking "elites".

But it is not that straightforward. Farage comes from a wealthy background - and his fee for appearing on I'm a Celebrity is reported to be £1.5m.

As Emily Bootle points out in The I Paper, if we are now going to see the "real" Farage, what we saw in the past must have been a fraudulent facade.

In the Daily Mirror, Darren Lewis reminds readers that Farage said hearing foreign languages on London transport made him feel "uncomfortable".

Yes: It is a form of very obvious faking - far from revealing people's "real" selves, it allows them to project a carefully constructed image. TV companies which allow it should be ashamed of themselves.

No: Some people actually are very good sports, but do not get to show that side of their character in public life because they are under pressure to behave in a serious way for the sake of their careers.

Or... Only someone with a very peculiar view of the world would describe I'm a Celebrity as fun. It is an extremely cruel show which panders to the worst instincts of the people watching it.
