Nigel Farage ‘secret’ lover heading Down Under to support former UKIP leader
Nigel Farage’s “secret” French girlfriend looks set to fly Down Under to support the politician should he be dumped from the jungle.
This seemingly confirms the pair’s six-year romance for the first time.
The Sun can reveal that Laure, 44, is part of the friends and family group expected to fly out to Australia’s Gold Coast over the next two weeks – essentially confirming their union.
A source said: “Nigel and Laure have been linked for years, ever since she first moved into his house in Chelsea and was seen taking the bins out.
“Nigel has never confirmed the nature of their relationship and is incredibly private about his family life but there was a feeling if there was ever a time to open that door, it was now.”

ITV’s welfare team ‘stepped in’ to help Grace Dent
ITV’s welfare team felt they needed to step in to help Grace Dent ahead of her I’m A Celeb exit today.
A source told MailOnline, “Grace decided to leave the jungle soon after it was announced that she would be doing the latest Bushtucker Trial.
They added: “It was mutually agreed upon that she would stand down from the competition, it was clear that she wasn’t being herself, she had lost all energy when usually she’s witty and fun to be around.
“ITV‘s duty of care and welfare teams had stepped in, and rightly so.
“She had struggled since living in the camp with less amenities, the weather this year has been particularly miserable and as a restaurant critic, not eating well proved to be harder than she could have ever imagined.”
Grace was due to take part in tonight’s trial, Down the Tubes.
