I'm A Celebrity stars were left "seriously ill" after taking on a gruelling Bushtucker Trial and contestants begged producers to make changes.

Nigel Farage, 59, says ITV messed up with a drinking trial Down Your Sorrows on day seven which he did with Tony Bellew. The former politician insisted he had made them change it midway through the challenge because it was too tough and claimed they would never repeat the trial in the way they had to do it because it was dangerous for their health.

He explained: "The drinking challenge was a nightmare they will never repeat. They know they got it wrong. They made us seriously ill. Tony was throwing up all afternoon and all evening. He was chucking his guts up. I was – and this was one of the biggest p**s-takes in camp – I was lying there propped up against the log for hours going, 'bleurghhh'.

"They all took the p**s out of me. they were all going, 'Chuck it up. You'll be far better chucking it up'. And I didn't chuck it up. I probably should have chucked it up really. I should have probably done that. Tony was spewing for hours. They had doctors watching and psychologists watching a lot.

"It wasn't drinks, it was more like porridge. The first drink I had, you could have poured it upside down quickly and it wouldn't have fallen out. I said to Ant and Dec, after three, I said, 'Alright…I quite like a pint but… you told me this was a time unlimited trial.

"So I'm going to drink all six. Tony might end up in hospital but I'm going to drink all six. But you might be here till three o'clock because I cannot take the weight of this heavy stuff'. So what they did is they liquefied the last three pints so they were less stodgy. I necked all of the last three and I think they got that trial wrong and they will never repeat it."

Despite him being king of the jungle, Farage also couldn't resist mocking show winner Sam Thompson a little bit, whilst also discussing chats they had which didn't make the edit. He said: "Sam isn't lazy, he's absolutely hopeless! He's utterly funny and charming and the nicest eight-year-old I've ever met.

"And Sam has a boyish enthusiasm for life which is utterly irrepressible and he and I got on famously. And in fact, we also had serious conversations. He's a fanatic about the ancient Greeks and you won't have seen this. I'm a 20th century historian so we sat for hours, where I'd ask him questions about ancient Greece and he'd ask me questions about tank battles in the first World War in 1918 and we had a great time.

"Sam was fantastic. In those rainy days – don't forget we had Grace leave, we had Jamie Lynn leave, we had a lightning storm where they gathered us into a hut – it was all pretty depressing. The end of my bed was literally drenched night after night. My socks were wet and I got blisters. It wasn't easy. In the middle of all that, Sam was a complete God send. So I love Sam. I also enjoyed teasing Sam."
