IT was a wet and rainy camp in tonight's explosive episode of I'm a Celebrity - and this year's first camp argument has already happened.
Ant and Dec opened the episode with a dig at former Ukip leader Nigel Farage. Pointing out that Farage never became an MP, the duo declared he can have the "Munching Penis" title now - in reference to tonight's challenge.
Farage later bared all in the shower, revealing his backside to a shocked Josie Gibson.
Before long, politics was inevitably brought up. Farage called former Prime Minister Boris Johnson an "act", a "shambles", before Fred Sirieix brought up Brexit.
Fred called Nigel "shameful" for showing a poster concerning migrants in the Brexit lead-up. Something Farage defended, saying it was true.
Nigel later called Fred "daft" as other camp members left the pair to it. Fred, not backing down, said Nigel is responsible for the country being worse off, "red tape" was mentioned several times.
"The average person in the UK has lost out because of what you've done. We'll have to agree to disagree."
Will that be the end of Brexit? Doubtful.
