Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage looks set to become a regular fixture on television screens across the Atlantic following Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Farage, whose relationship with the United States’ 45th President grew in recent months, has been recruited by Fox News as a political commentator.

According to a media release from the Rupert Murdoch-owned broadcaster, he ‘will offer political analysis across [the Fox News Channel] and FOX Business Network’s (FBN) daytime and primetime programming.’

The Member of the European Parliament has been seen cosying up to President Trump in the recent past, and has received condemnation for his racist rhetoric from figures such as Gary Lineker.

And there has been a strong reaction to the news that he will soon become a fixture on TV screens up and down America.
