BBC2 has ordered a fly-on-the-wall mockumentary about the life of UK politician Nigel Farage.

Nigel Farage Gets His Life Back is being produced by Endemol Shine Group-owned Zeppotron and combines pieces-to-camera with footage following the day-to-day reality of being former UK Independence Party leader Farage.

Farage, who will be played by UK comedian Kevin Bishop, was instrumental in the country’s decision to leave the European Union earlier this summer. He then resigned the day after achieving his wish in June’s referendum, saying he wanted his life back.

Peter Holmes, MD of Zeppotron and executive producer, said: “Nigel Farage has had a huge part to play in the momentous political events of recent times, and everybody has an opinion of him. We hope we can create a lot of laughter while painting a portrait of such a divisive figure as he fills the empty hours of retirement.”
