Two people have been arrested after a milkshake was thrown at Nigel Farage.

The politician had a banana milkshake lobbed at him outside of a pub in Clacton this afternoon (4 June).

Farage, the new leader of Reform UK, was speaking to the media while leaving the Moon and Starfish pub when he was drenched in the yellow drink.

He then boarded the campaign bus to clean himself up, even buying himself his own milkshakes afterwards and posing with it in front of the bus with a grin plastered across his face.

The woman who threw the drink at Farage, who is underway with his eighth attempt to be elected as an MP, has spoken out since the incident.

Known as Victoria, she revealed that it wasn't a planned attack, as it was more of a spur of the moment occurrence and she just 'felt like it'.

Speaking to the BBC, she said: "“He doesn’t stand for me, he doesn’t represent anything I believe in, or any of the people around here,

“He doesn’t represent us, he’s not from here,” she explained.

But drenching a politician in broad daylight seems to have a price, as two arrests have been made following the events.

A spokesperson for Essex Police said: "Officers have made two arrests after responding to a report a drink was thrown at a man in Clacton. We were called to the area of Marine Parade East, Clacton, at around 2.10pm today (Tuesday 4 June).

"It was reported a man had a drink thrown over him as he left a premises in the area. A 25-year-old woman, from Clacton, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault.

"While officers were responding and making this arrest, a second individual, a man, was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker. Both individuals remain in custody for questioning."

It's not the first time the former UKIP party leader has had his day ruined by a milkshake though, as he had one from Five Guys launched at him in 2019 in Newcastle.

Prior to the incident, Farage addressed the rally, calling out the Tories for not following the agreed on policies of Brexit, and how would fight for those 'who don't have their voice.'

"I hope that having a national figure representing this constituency will put Clacton on the map," said the 60-year-old.

"No longer will you be ignored; I hope I can get investment that will bring jobs.

"I will stand up and fight for you... send me to Parliament to be a bloody nuisance," he concluded.
