I just like him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The disclosure surprised Teja, who chimed in, asking Caroline to confirm if she actually knew Nigel Farage \u201cin real life\u201d and if he was her \u201cfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Caroline reiterated her relationship with the politician, sharing that she recently attended a funeral with him and even sat in his car.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Nigel Farage is the leader of the Brexit Party and a former leader of UKIP.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He has remained a popular topic of discussion due to his far-right associations and point of view, as well as allegations of racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and more.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Since Farage is a controversial political figure, Teja, an 18-year-old cleaner from Bristol, was taken aback when Caroline revealed her link to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Caroline\u2019s disclosure leads to a heated confrontation between Big Brother UK stars Teja and George<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After Caroline revealed her connection to Nigel Farage, Teja snapped back at her, asking her about her political beliefs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Caroline explained that she liked Farage because he wanted to make England great again.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Upon hearing that, Teja questioned her to see if she did not think that the way he spoke and acted was \u201ca bit divisive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Caroline countered, asking Teja for her thoughts on Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, to which she answered:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI\u2019m all for patriotism, I love England.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As soon as things started to heat up, Caroline told the other Big Brother UK houseguests that she \u201cmight just sneak off\u201d and leave the rest on Teja and George.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After she stepped away from the conversation, Teja sat down with George to have a more detailed conversation on the topic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One thing led to another, and the two houseguests were soon locking horns with each other over their political beliefs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Teja even took off her dressing gown to lock in on her debate with George, who had previously clashed with Cameron.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The male cast member argued that the Union Jack was there to unite the British people, but Teja thought otherwise.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to her, the actions of some were dividing the county and its citizens rather than uniting them.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAll these hateful things that are happening as a result of his [Farage] speech and the things that he\u2019s saying,\u201d she expressed.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The duo then spoke about immigration, with George pointing out that there were people who were coming into the country illegally and \u201cgetting hotels,\u201d \u201cfree driving lessons,\u201d and \u201cdental appointments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Teja was surprised by George\u2019s stance, as she believed the situation was exaggerated to look like something it was not<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI feel like it\u2019s being exaggerated to make us outraged and to divide us more,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Additionally, the Big Brother UK alum stated that she did not think anyone was illegal.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, George continued to argue otherwise, claiming that the British people were \u201cweak,\u201d which was why outsiders chose the country.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Teja and George went back and forth for a while, discussing immigration and the hate toward foreigners.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the end, the duo agreed to disagree, with George saying, \u201cTo be continued.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Stay tuned for more updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nigel Farage (Image via Getty) Big Brother UK 2025 is in full swing, as housemates engage in
