Nigel Farage was jeered and booed… while presenting an award at the annual British Curry Awards.
Stars turned out to celebrate the country's top chefs and Indian restaurants including comedian Russell Brand, the Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson and former England goalkeeper David Seaman.
While presenting an award Brexiteer Farage appeared to be revelling in the unwelcome introduction he was given on stage.
As the crowd jeered and booed he said: 'Thank you for sponsoring my salary for all these years, very kind of you.'
The award ceremony's compère said that they were now 'up against it' as the air turned frosty.

They declined to share a table with Farage.
