Nigel Farage’s daughter’s boyfriend Jack Mckenna seen for the first time since his parents admitted drug offences – leaving former UKIP leader ‘shocked’

• The 18-year-old has been dating Mr Farage’s youngest daughter Izzy, also 18

Nigel Farage’s daughter’s boyfriend, Jack McKenna, was seen for the first time today since his parents admitted to drug offences.

The 18-year-old, who has been dating Mr Farage’s youngest daughter Izzy, 18, emerged from his home in Kent, declining to comment after police swooped Jack’s parents’ £500,000 family home in Bromley, south-east London, on October 6 last year in a drugs bust.

Mr McKenna refused to talk about his parents Darren McKenna and Lacey Tilley, who admitted two counts each of conspiracy to supply class A drugs.

The teenager was pictured casually dressed in navy tracksuit bottoms, a Nike t-shirt and a pair of Crocs sandals, as he opened the door to a taxi outside his house.

When asked about their case as he climbed into the car, he said: ‘Sorry bruv…I am in a bit of a rush.’

His grandmother Caroline McKenna, whose home was raided by cops in Catford, also refused to comment.

Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage was left ‘shocked’ following the revelation that the parents of his daughter’s long-term boyfriend pleaded guilty to drug offences following a raid on their home.

The teenagers have been dating for two years, with Izzy even taking Jack to Australia during her father’s time on I’m a Celebrity.

Mr Farage, 59, expressed his support for Jack as he told the Sun: ‘He’s a nice lad with no record of any kind with the police or any problems at school.

‘He can’t help where he comes from, nor can any of us, it’s obviously a very difficult situation.’

He added that Jack deserved ‘every chance’ and he wouldn’t be ‘judgmental’.

Mr Farage also said that his youngest daughter and her boyfriend were ‘very good together’. 

‘This has been a shock for everyone involved, but I don’t want to see this affect the rest of Jack’s life.’

It comes after police swooped Jack’s parents’ £500,000 family home in Bromley, south-east London, on October 6 last year. Jack and Izzy had reportedly stayed together at the property.

His grandmother’s house, where Jack and his father regularly stayed, was also raided by the Met Police, the Sun understands.

Mr Farage said that while he knew that Jack stayed at his grandmother’s house a lot due to ‘ups and downs’ at home, he didn’t know ‘the full extent’ of what was going on with the teenager’s parents.

But the I’m a Celebrity contestant reiterated that Jack was ‘a good lad’ who hopes to be successful in life despite where he comes from.

Jack, who accompanied Izzy to Australia where she prepared to greet her father as he left the jungle, could now see his parents being jailed for up to ten years after they pleaded guilty to the drug offences.

A source close to Jack’s family told the Sun last night that Jack was ‘really upset’ and ‘worried’ over the prospect of his parents going to prison for years.

They also claimed that Izzy was a regular guest at Jack’s house and that her mother Kirsten has also been there ‘quite a bit’. 

Izzy lives with her mother in Oxted, Surrey, which is just half an hour away from Jack’s family home.  

Darren McKenna and Lacey Tilley are due to appear at Woolwich Crown Court in south-east London in January.

Until then, McKenna is held on remand at HMP Belmarsh, a Category A prison.
