Nigel Farage has dismissed claims made by one idolising Ukip supporter that he’s been “sent by God” to save Britain from the European Union.

The Ukip leader said during an LBC phone-in on Friday: “I’m not the Messiah, I’m a very naughty boy.”

The borrowed Monty Python phrase was delivered after Farage was played a clip of new Channel 5 documentary Farage Fans and Ukip Lovers.

During the segment, 59-year-old dominatrix Jill, who is also a former nurse, said that he “probably didn’t realise it”, but that Farage had been “sent to protect us against the EU”. She went on to theorise that Brussels aimed to install microchips into everyone in Europe, and would execute those who refused to comply with its wishes.

“God says when an enemy comes against you like a massive flood, I'll send someone to give you some protection,” she said.

“What Nigel Farage will do by getting us out of the EU is to stop their plans to microchip our people.

“The EU already has the equipment set up and they have death vans like they have in China, equipped with guillotines.

“They will be sent to houses and work places basically saying receive the microchip or be killed. So off with your head and that's when things start getting unpleasant.”

After listening to the clip, Farage responded: “Jill, I’m sure, is an absolutely delightful woman, but I have to disappoint her. Jill, I’m not the Messiah, I’m a very naughty boy.”

The 2014 'Messiahs' Show all 10 1 /10 The 2014 'Messiahs' The 2014 'Messiahs' Russell Brand If anyone thinks he’s a saviour it’s Russell Brand, who has been passionately calling for political and social revolution over the past 12 months. Whether you agree with him or not, he’s unarguably done a lot to make sure his voice is heard - he’s marched on numerous protests, written a book about it and appeared on Question Time with Nigel Farage all to educate the public that it’s time for change. But he doesn’t want to stand for Parliament because he fears he would end up “like one of them”. The 2014 'Messiahs' Jeremy Clarkson It has not been the best of years for Jeremy Clarkson. There have been numerous ‘racist’ allegations made against him, although the most high-profile was when he was filmed using the ‘N-word’ for an episode of Top Gear. He denied using the racist word, but soon after apologised following calls for him to be sacked. Later on in the year, he was chased out of Argentina after driving through the country with a license plate referring the Falklands War. He denied any ill-doing once again, and still claims to have been the victim in the sorry incident. The 2014 'Messiahs' Nigel Farage This year has unfortunately belonged to Nigel Farage in terms of shouting the loudest in British politics. He has offered his right-wing views on immigration, breastfeeding and, who could forget the time he said that it was inoffensive for white people to ‘black up’? He is relentlessly unapologetic for his questionable views, claiming to voice the opinions of other members of the British public. Getty The 2014 'Messiahs' Katie Hopkins If ever a tragic, controversial or sensitive news story breaks, Katie Hopkins (who is famous for little else than turning down Alan Sugar in The Apprentice) can be relied to say the most provocative and often cruel comment imaginable. She berated Jessica Ennis-Hill for bravely making a stand against convicted rapist Ched Evans; complained about the “negligence” of Kate and Gerry McCann; bemoaned the parenting skills of the late Peaches Geldof; and branded “travellers and gypsies feral humans”. And of course, she once compared herself to the Messiah, tweeting on Easter weekend that she was the “Jesus of the outspoken”. REX/Ken McKay/ITV The 2014 'Messiahs' Morrissey Morrissey, music’s most miserable and disenchanted hero, has continued his long-term quest to convert the world to vegetarianism through emotive, powerful methods. There was his new line of T-shirts, which feature the message ‘Be kind to animals or I’ll kill you’, then the time he said that Jamie Oliver should be gassed because he sometimes cooks meat (he also inexplicably volunteered Princess Anne to do the honours); and then, perhaps most famously, he compared meat to paedophilia. “They are both rape, violence, murder,” he said cheerfully. Getty Images The 2014 'Messiahs' Beyoncé She is viewed as a makeshift Messiah to many teenage girls (and boys), as well as twenty-somethings, but has Beyoncé’s preachiness gone too far? She’s talked about feminism a lot (no bad thing, obviously), including an essay on gender inequality in the Shriver Report, but she also then went on the Mrs Carter tour (who needs Beyonce when you can take Jay-Z’s surname instead?). Getty Images The 2014 'Messiahs' Tony Blair In fairness, Tony Blair hasn’t claimed to be the Messiah himself – it’s just all the dubious awards he’s received in 2014 that suggest he might be, starting with GQ’s Philanthropist of the Year award, then the Gay Times’ 2014 Gay Icon and finishing with the NSPCC’s Global Development prize, too. The 2014 'Messiahs' David Mellor Do you know who David Mellor is? Do you know how important he is? Do you know he’s been in the Cabinet; that he’s an award-winning broadcaster, that’s he’s on the Queen’s Counsel? Do you think your experiences are anything compared to his? If you’re a London taxi driver, who did your job by taking him on a quicker route to St Katharine’s Dock, then you will recognise all of the above. AFP The 2014 'Messiahs' Pharrell Williams Pharrell Williams, not a bad egg by any stretch of the imagination, but it was his ramblings on feminism that first rested uneasily (Pharrell whose major hit of last year was created with Sexist of the Year Robin Thicke with “Blurred Lines”). Then came the online self-help book, perhaps one of the most convoluted of its kind, in which readers are asked to fill in the missing word blanks to guess what the musician and producer might be saying. It is called, modestly, Inspiration. Theo Roberts The 2014 'Messiahs' Julian Assange Publicity and indeed his supporters may have waned this year, but Julian Assange’s god complex is as strong as ever. Once the poster boy for liberals, who applauded him for exposing government hypocrisy, but has been holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy for the past two years to escape extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning over accusations of sexual assault. He sometimes appears on the balcony to make emotional speeches or as a ghostly 3D spectre as seen as the 2014 Nantucket Project in Massachusetts in September. AFP/Getty

Farage's odd denial follows an equally unusual appearance on ITV daytime programme Loose Women, during which he declared that it is a “fact of life” that new mothers may fall “behind the rest of the pack” in the workplace.

“If you're a doctor, a lawyer, a researcher, you're a woman, you have a baby, you take six months or a year off, you come back. You are not disadvantaged at all in that job,” he told the panel.
