Nigel Farage Went On "Loose Women" And Predicted UKIP Will Win 10 Or More Seats

    "I'm in the lion's den," said the UKIP leader on the daytime ITV show.

    Nigel Farage has appeared as a guest on ITV daytime show Loose Women. No, seriously.

    Before the show, the UKIP leader said he was "more nervous than usual" about the grilling to come.

    I'm about to go on @loosewomen. Slightly more nervous about this panel than I usually am!

    Linda Robson from Birds of a Feather certainly pulled no punches, asking Farage if he is the "most hated man in British politics".

    But he settled in quickly, especially when the women asked him about the "hot potato" of immigration and he seemed to win most of the audience over.

    They probed him on his image as the "beer-swilling politician", and asked if he felt "guilty" about his drinking habits.

    And they asked about his controversial comments in the past about women. He reiterated that women being disadvantaged by maternity leave was "a fact of life".

    The panel ended by nailing down Farage on a seat prediction for his party. After not accepting his first answer – "a handful" – Farage predicted UKIP will win "double figures" of seats.

    The audience seemed to like him, and Farage seemed to think it went quite well too.

    Well, I didn't do too badly on @loosewomen , did I? It was good fun!
