Farage paid for £1.4m house with I'm a Celebrity cash, says Reform
Reform says the purchase was funded by Farage’s seven-figure TV fee, while a separate £5 million gift from Christopher Harborne is under inquiry.
- Reform UK told the BBC that Nigel Farage purchased a £1.4 million Surrey property using earnings from his I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here appearance, with land registry documents confirming the £1.42m cash purchase on 10 May 2024.
- Billionaire donor Christopher Harborne gave Farage £5 million on 5 April 2024, two months before the property purchase, creating scrutiny despite Reform's claims the transactions were unrelated.
- Reform stated Farage 'had already passed proof of funds and the relevant checks before receiving the gift,' while Farage told The Sun the £5 million was 'completely unconditional,' a reward for '27 years' of Brexit campaigning.
- After the Guardian reported the undeclared payment last month, the Commons watchdog launched an investigation, referring Farage to Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Daniel Greenberg under MPs' code of conduct rules.
- Parliamentary rules require new MPs to declare donations within 12 months of election; Reform maintains the personal gift required no declaration, though Harborne has become the party's largest donor with £12 million given in 2025.
