Farage pauses Cameo account for security reasons, says Reform UK

Nigel Farage has stopped offering personalised videos on the Cameo site, after the Guardian reported he had recorded clips supporting a man convicted of violent disorder and a Neo-Nazi event.

Since becoming an MP in 2024, the Reform UK leader has registered earning more than £80,000 filming personalised messages for individuals through Cameo.

Earlier this week, the Guardian reported that, in one of the the messages, Farage suggested an event by a Canadian neo-Nazi group could be seen as "the best thing that ever happened" and in another had made a comment about the breasts of a US congresswoman.

A Reform spokesperson told the BBC that Farage's activity has been "paused for security reasons".

Responding to the Guardian's investigation earlier this week, the spokesperson said Farage had used the platform "in good faith and without knowledge of the individuals involved beyond what is written for him".

They added: "If individuals or groups subsequently choose to misuse or repurpose a Cameo recording, that is clearly outside Mr Farage's knowledge or control."

Liberal Democrat Home Affairs Spokesperson Max Wilkinson MP said: "This shameless Cameo cash grab tells us everything we need to know about Nigel Farage.

"For the right price, he will apparently say almost anything. If he ever gets into power he will sell the country out in a heartbeat."

Cameo is most commonly used by celebrities and sports people to provide personalised messages to fans for a fee.

Farage's profile on the site, says customers could pay the Clacton MP to provide messages "for a variety of occasions, from birthdays and retirements to roasts and motivational pep talks".

"He provides an entertaining and lighthearted way for fans to connect with him and his signature straight-talking, anti-establishment style."

The Guardian's investigation into the more than 4,000 clips made by Farage since he joined the platform in April 2021, found that on one occasion he charged £155 for a message to a man sentenced to 16 months for his involvement in a violent incident during a protest.

In the message, he is reported as saying: "I know you've really, really been through the mill and I'm sorry."

"All I can say is keep your head up, keep believing in the right things, keep acting in the right way, and in the end... good triumphs over evil."

In another clip, Farage appears to mock someone for "simpering for [US congresswoman] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's big naturals".

In July 2025, he recorded a wedding message, in which he said: "Gutted I couldn't attend the wedding. I wanted to come, but I heard that half the guests were Welsh, and I don't know. Who knows what would have happened with all those foreign speakers there. I don't know."

According to the Guardian, the Cameo user had asked Farage to follow a script which would include him saying the number of Welsh guests was "far too many foreigners for me".

Welsh Conservative Senedd leader Darren Millar said the comment was a "gross insult to the people of Wales" and a Welsh Labour spokesperson said: "Here we have it clear as day - Farage's disdain for the people of Wales and the Welsh language."

James Evans, a Reform Member of the Senedd (MS), told BBC Wales that while it was for Farage to answer for his own words, the Welsh language was "very important" to the party.

He added: "Wales, let me be very clear, is a bilingual nation. We speak English and Welsh, and whatever language you speak, you should feel welcome in our country."
