There are conflicting reports. One web search result states Reform UK told the BBC that Farage used 'I'm a Celebrity' cash for the house, while another web search result explicitly states that Farage 'insists there is no link' between the £5m gift and the purchase, and another suggests the house was bought in cash following a gift from a billionaire.
