Wife’s verdict on Farage & the pornstar
She speaks as glamour girl hits back
THE long-suffering wife of Nigel Farage yesterday washed her hands of him – as well as reports of his romp with a porn star on a jet.
And – as Kirsten Farage spoke out – adult movie actress Valerie Fox, 30, insisted she had enjoyed a grope and a snog with the former UKIP leader on a Transatlantic flight, after he denied it.
German Kirsten smiled outside their Kent family home and said: “It’s nothing to do with me any more. Lucky me.”
Mr Farage met Valerie on the overnight Virgin flight from Atlanta, Georgia, to Heathrow on March 22. After the story broke on Friday night, he denied groping her and said it was “all a set up”.
But yesterday Valerie insisted he initiated things in Upper Class and said: “I’m only speaking because he’s making out I’m lying and some desperate trollop.
“He said he was married, but separated. And I asked if he had a girlfriend.” She said that Farage, who denies a relationship with French politician lodger Laure Ferrari, 37, replied to her: “I’m kind of dating this person.”
She added: “He joked she wants babies and I said ‘get the snip’.
“Nigel has one of those personalities that is very likeable. It was about two hours into it, I was drinking bubbly and he was drinking red wine.
“He put his hand on my thigh, which I wasn’t opposed to at all. There was a closeness. And we started snogging.
“It was just two adults having a bit of a make-out and asking if I wanted to go to dinner some time.”
Ms Fox said Farage, who is 53 today, twice asked if he could give her a lift. After they landed, he took her to her flat in Marylebone, Central London, where they kissed for 15 minutes before he left.
Valerie said the story was leaked by a friend. She said: “I don’t want attention. I don’t need money. I’ve been in Mayfair magazine, Hustler, and in Playboy.”
Speaking at his £4million Chelsea pad, where Ms Ferrari is still believed to be staying, Mr Farage said: “I’m not going to contradict her. There’s no point. I met her on an plane. She pushed it further than I thought right. That’s the end of it.”
Ms Ferrari headed a thinktank at the centre of a probe into alleged illegal funding of UKIP. Mr Farage said he was just giving her a place to stay.
