NIGEL Farage's fans blasted I'm A Celebrity as a "fix" last night after he missed out on winning the ITV show.
Many took to social media as reality TV star Sam Thompson, 31, was crowned King Of The Jungle following a public vote.
Former politician Nigel, 59, came in third place after boxer Tony Bellew, 41, after the final votes were counted and revealed by hosts Ant and Dec.
Writing on X, formerly Twitter, one person claimed: "ImACeleb weirdly NOT trending with ‘king of the jungle’ but actually Nigel Farage …says it all really .. we know a fix when we see one."
A second echoed: "I genuinely believe that was a fix. I'd love ITV to release the exact voting figures. The amount of support I've seen for Nigel online. I've honestly not seen any for Tony. I don't believe Tony had more votes. The entire right wing was mobilised to vote."
Another said: "Total fix! Tony did not receive more votes than Nigel!"

Sam won the hearts of the nation during his time in jungle and it's safe to say many more fans – and the bookies – believed he deserved the win.

Last night, Ant and Dec took to Instagram to praise the Love Island: The Morning After podcast host.
They penned next to a photo of Sam on the jungle throne: "Agent Murph (Sam) has been promoted to King of the Jungle.

However, the Geordie pair wrongly predicted this year’s winner of I’m A Celebrity.
They suggested there would be another Queen Of The Jungle instead.
During an Instagram live last night they said they expected Josie Gibson to win.
They had written their predictions in envelopes and opened them in the live video.
“We are terrible at this, we really are!” laughed Ant.
Ant had tipped Danielle Harold as third, Sam as runner up and Josie Gibson in first place.
Dec had backed Marvin Humes in third place, Danielle in second, and Josie first.
