Nigel Farage was struck by a milkshake on a visit to Newcastle city centre.

The Brexit Party leader was visiting the city ahead of the European elections on Thursday.

He was surrounded by security and activists but was struck by a protester close to Monument.

Mr Farage was crossing Blackett Street when he was hit by the drink by a male.

Several pro-Brexit politicians have been subjected to the same bizarre protest in recent weeks.

He could be heard saying to his security "this is a failure" and "how did that happen?" immediately after.

He was greeted by supporters and North East candidate Brian Monteith as he arrived on Northumberland Street.

Mr Farage was surrounded by security throughout his visit.

He was heckled several times as he went down Northumberland Street but was also given plenty of support.

There was no organised protest as he arrived as his visit had not been pre-announced.

Mr Farage was only intending to be in the city for under an hour before another rally visit in Wakefield and another later in Bolton.
