Nigel Farage responds to milkshake throwing in Clacton Nigel Farage
Nigel Farage was hit by a milkshake on Tuesday (June 4) while on the campaign trail in Clacton, just a day after announcing his plans to stand in the general election.
The woman who threw the drink was photographed and quickly arrested by Essex police.
However, she was misidentified by some online as a conservative pundit, and it’s led to conspiracy theories that the whole thing was staged by Farage – but there’s no evidence of that.
The woman who threw the drink has been identified as Victoria Thomas-Bowen, who is a 25-year-old OnlyFans model.
Speaking to the BBC her decision to throw the drink, she said that she “just felt like it”, saying: “He doesn’t stand for me. He doesn’t represent anything I believe in, or any of the around here. He doesn’t represent us, he’s not from here.”
Thomas-Bowen was arrested by Essex police on suspicion of assault.
However, since the pictures of the event were shared widely online, falsely identified the woman as Emily Hewertson – a 24-year-old conservative, pro-Brexit media personality, who also works as a House of Commons press officer.
Clarifying that she was not responsible for the incident, Hewertson wrote on Twitter/X: “No, I did not throw a milkshake over Nigel Farage.”
