The former Ukip leader will contribute to the main channel and the Fox Business Network’s daytime and primetime programmes, the broadcaster announced.

It comes shortly after he was given his own nightly show on UK radio station LBC.

Mr Farage is one of Britain’s most prominent supporters of new US president Donald Trump and boosted his profile across the Atlantic during frequent appearances at the Republican’s rallies in the election campaign.

Both Mr Farage and Mr Trump have suggested that Brexit and the controversial tycoon’s election as president are linked phenomena.
