In the northern NSW town of Murwillumbah, former Brexiteer-in-chief Nigel Farage has become an unlikely star of British reality TV game show I’m a Celebrity, feted on social media for his ability to endure gastronomic tests of endurance.

In a recent episode, he was required to gulp down several tumblers of wretch-inducing smoothies, whipped up from such delicacies as pigs’ noses, cows’ anuses, fermented duck eggs, and goats’ testicles. Farage is a known habitué of any British pub that will have him, so after throwing back one glassful with admirable sangfroid, he looked over at his tormentors and quipped: “When you’re ready, same again please.”
