Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage has often been accused of having a big mouth, but he met his match during a television interview courtesy of an interloper with a megaphone.

Farage, who stepped down as the leader of the far-right party after Britain's exit from the EU, was speaking with Sky News presenter Kay Burley about the Brexit and new PM Theresa May.

But Farage's views on those issues were drowned out by the relentless, amplified heckling of a man nearby who made his opinion of the MEP abundantly clear.

"You're a disgusting racist," the fellow declared.

"You're the best comedian in the business. You're a crap politician but you're a good comedian. A bit like Boris Johnson ."

The commentary continued on in much the same fashion for several minutes, almost completely overwhelming Sky's audio.

Burley and Farage, however, took things in their stride, with Farage remarking otherwise that the unkind words didn't bother him in the slightest.
