Sam Thompson’s girlfriend Zara McDermott was left in hysterics as she saw his fellow I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! campmate Nigel Farage dressed in tiny green hot pants during Saturday’s episode.
Former Made In Chelsea star Sam, 31, has made it to tonight’s series final along with ex politician Nigel, 59, and retired boxer Tony Bellew, 41.
The night before, the last remaining three campmates took part in the legendary Celebrity Cyclone challenge with This Morning host Josie Gibson, 38, before she was given the boot by the public later in the episode.
Each of the stars were given some tiny sparkling hot pants to wear, with Nigel’s tight shorts leaving very little to the imagination.
And, while former leader of the Brexit Party Nigel has shown far more this season by baring his bottom in the shower, Zara, 26, was unable to contain herself as she giggled at the sight of Nigel in his green shorts.

Sharing a clip of herself watching I’m A Celebrity at home on her Instagram Stories, Zara laughed as she said: ‘This is not what I expected to see on my Saturday night – Nigel, put it away!’
She added: ‘I did not expect to see Nigel’s package in some sparkly hot pants… that’s for sure.’
Former Love Island contestant Zara shared a scene from the episode where Nigel was seen crossing a rope bridge in the jungle in his green hotpants.
She captioned her post: ‘I did not expect to see Nigel’s package in some sparkly hot pants… that’s for sure!’
Zara has remained in the UK rather than jetting to Australia to support Sam, with his good friend and Staying Relevant podcast co-host, former The Only Way Is Essex star Pete Wicks, 35, heading Down Under instead.
Reality star Zara said Sam chose Pete to go to Australia as Sam expected Zara to still be in Strictly Come Dancing, but she was the fifth contestant to be eliminated from this series in October.
Josie was left red-faced upon seeing Nigel and Tony in tiny hot pants for the Celebrity Cyclone trial during Saturday’s episode.
The TV presenter was the last woman standing in camp but missed out on a place in the grand final as she was eliminated.
Sharing a clip of herself watching I’m A Celeb at home on her Instagram Stories, Zara laughed as she said: ‘This is not what I expected to see on my Saturday night – Nigel, put it away!’
She captioned her post: ‘I did not expect to see Nigel’s package in some sparkly hot pants… that’s for sure!’
But hours earlier, she took part in the final challenge of the series alongside Nigel, Tony and Sam.
And Josie couldn’t help but giggle at Nigel and Tony as they joined Sam in sporting colourful hot pants for the iconic Cyclone challenge.
Nigel had donned a pair of bright green hot pants, whilst Tony sported a pair of glittering red pants, and Josie opted to wear a pair of leggings under her purple Lycra shorts.
Nigel admitted: ‘I must admit, I’m feeling a touch self-conscious today but we’re here so let’s do it!’
Picking his superhero name for the challenge, Nigel said: ‘My name is Disruptor because I’ve spent my whole life disrupting things.’
Tony said in camp: ‘I reckon the world is close to coming to an end. I’ve got hot pants on and I’m going to jump on an inflatable toy with Nigel Farage.’
Host Declan Donnelly said of the returning Cyclone challenge: ‘It’s big, it’s wet, it comes round once a year, it’s Celebrity Cyclone!’
The four celebrities were tasked with getting the stars on the four star markers within the 10-minute time limit while being pelted with water and obstacles.
Dec said: ‘As always, the Cyclone will throw some surprises your way – mostly ball-shaped surprises. So do your best to avoid them, as much as you possibly can.’
They agreed the order of play as Nigel, Josie, Sam and Tony to battle the formidable Cyclone, which is a fan favourite trial every year.
They were drenched with water and pelted with huge rubber balls as they attempted to climb up the slippery slope of the assault course and collect yellow stars to go towards a final feast together.
The foursome struggled so much to complete the task at one point that Ant and Dec thought the stars may not complete the challenge.
