Nigel Farage’s wife of 18 years has moved out of the family home – eight months after The Mail on Sunday revealed he was living with French politician Laure Ferrari.

She now runs the Eurosceptic think-tank the Institute for Direct Democracy in Europe, which has financial links with Ukip.

When this newspaper revealed in February that Mr Farage was sharing a secret £4 million Chelsea bachelor pad with Ms Ferrari, he said it was ‘crackers’ to suggest an affair.
