Sharing the news with Lorraine, Paul revealed: “In third place is James Cleverly from the conservative party, and in second place is Robert Jenrick, who is also Conservative. He has lost a lot of weight recently, and he is very popular on social media.”
Announcing the top spot, he continued: “And in first place, taking the gold is Nigel Farage.” Lorraine didn’t hold back as she replied: “Oh no. There is so much I want to say, but I'll get taken off air.”
She added, “Like I said, slim pickings because everyone always says politics is entertainment for ugly people.” She clarified: “Which is rude and it’s not me saying that, that is generally what people say, is it not?”
Paul replied: “I’m not getting involved in that. You can stick to that yourself.” Lorraine added: “That’s what people say.”

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com said: “Farage has proved once again he’s the political equivalent of that leather jacket in your wardrobe – slightly controversial, impossible to get rid of, and somehow still looking good after all these years.
“In politics, power is an aphrodisiac – and our members are never shy about telling us who gets their hearts racing. This year’s results show that confidence, conviction, and a little controversy remain irresistible traits.”
