Nigel Farage has been interrupted by several hecklers as he attempted to hold his first media conference since he was elected to parliament.

The Reform UK leader, whose party won the seat of Clacton and three other seats, confronted a series of hecklers, one of whom he accused of being “absolutely steaming”.

The party leader, who failed in his seven previous attempts to enter parliament, will represent the Essex seat of Clacton after winning a majority of nearly 10,000.

As well as Clacton, the party also picked up Ashfield with its candidate Lee Anderson, the former deputy Tory party chair who defected to Reform earlier this year.

It also defeated the Conservatives in Great Yarmouth and Boston and Skegness.
