A MODEL has been charged after a McDonald’s milkshake was thrown at Nigel Farage.
Victoria Thomas-Bowen, 25, was arrested after the reformist leader launched his election campaign in Clacton-on-Sea yesterday.
The OnlyFans model has now been charged with assault by beating and criminal damage.
Thomas-Bowen is expected to appear at Colchester Magistrates Court on 2 July.
A 44-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker has been released and will face no further action.
Farage was in the Essex seaside town addressing supporters after announcing he would stand for election in the constituency.
As he left the Moon and Starfish pub, he was doused in thick yellow liquid.
He was seen with the banana milkshake smeared across his dark blue suit as he boarded his campaign bus.
The 60-year-old former UKIP leader later played down the incident by posing with his own X-shaped shake.
He joked: “My milkshake brings all the people to the rally.”
Farage later described the incident as “quite scary”, adding: “Nobody goes out and does old-fashioned street campaigning like I do, and that’s the risk that comes with it.”
It was the second time the I’m a Celeb star was targeted for a milkshake.
In 2019, the Brexiteer was covered in liquid from head to toe while in Newcastle in 2019.
Essex Police said: “A woman is due to appear in court following an incident in Clacton.
“Victoria Thomas Bowen, 25, will appear at Colchester Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, July 2, to answer charges of assault by beating and criminal damage.
“The charges relate to an incident where a drink was thrown at a man in the area of Marine Parade East, Clacton, at around 2.10pm on Tuesday, June 4.”
