Laure Ferrari

Subsequently, she was made director of public relations for the British delegation of the Europe of Freedom and Democracy (EFD) parliamentary group (2009–2014), which later became the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) group.

The EFD/EFDD was at the time co-chaired by Nigel Farage and Francesco Speroni. In this context she met Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, leader of the far-right Eurosceptic French party "France Arise" (Debout la France), itself a member of the Alliance for Direct Democracy in Europe (ADDE), founded by UKIP.

In January 2017, she was founding member of The Mouvement / Le Mouvement together with Mischaël Modrikamen and his wife Yasmine Dehaene-Modrikamen.

Personal life Ferrari is the long-term partner of Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, formerly known as the Brexit Party, and former leader of UKIP. Ferrari first met Farage in 2007 when she was working in Strasbourg as a waitress. Ferrari worked for Farage as his EU parliamentary aide and in 2017 stayed at his home in London. Ferrari travelled to Queensland in Australia to greet Farage on his exit from the 23rd series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2023, when he finished third in the public vote.

Ferrari bought a detached property in Clacton which was initially reported in the media that they shared and jointly owned. After further investigation this was found to be false. Farage said he misspoke when questioned by journalists about the purchase.
