MONTY Python star Eric Idle has said Reform UK leader Nigel Farage being “taken seriously” is “appalling to me” after post-Brexit issues meant he was unable to see his Spamalot musical opening in Paris last year.

The 82-year-old comedian told the PA news agency he had now applied for a talent visa in France, where he has a home, in the hope it will help him avoid a similar issue happening again.

Claiming Brexit rules limited his options, he told PA: “I mean, [Brexit] was just a terrible con, it was a real con, and [the fact] that Nigel Farago [Farage] still exists anywhere and is taken seriously is appalling to me.”
