UKIP leader Nigel Farage has been wined and dined by Elton John at his mansion.

But sources close to the millionaire singer said there was “absolutely no way” Sir Elton, 67, would be endorsing the right-wing UKIP.

Mr Farage, who has warned of the “danger” of gay marriage, said he was invited to the dinner for 15 or 20 by Sir Elton and partner David Furnish, 51, in Windsor.

The couple, who have two sons, are known to be planning to marry.

Mr Farage said: “We talked about politics and current affairs and all of these things. The food was magnificent, the wine was even better.”

UKIP MEP Janice Atkinson has apologised for referring to Thai-born party supporter Fa Munday as “a ting-tong from somewhere”.
