Farage on sofa with employee

NIGEL FARAGE’s wife erupted with fury after finding him on the family couch with a female press officer late one night, it has been claimed.

Shortly after the 2015 incident, the woman involved, Alexandra Phillips, left her £80,000-a-year post as Mr Farage’s spokeswoman. She denies there was any physical relationship.

The claim comes after our revelations last week that the former Ukip leader has been living with another woman, Laure Ferrari, 37, in a £4 m pad in London. Mr Farage, 52, dismissed any suggestion of an affair as ‘ludicrous’ and ‘crackers’.

However, a senior party source said Mr Farage has been visiting Ms Ferrari at another London house for more than two years – and has been close to her for at least eight.

Last night, a spokesman for Mr Farage said: ‘The allegations you make are all based on hearsay.’
