WATCH: Nigel Farage was speaking in the European Parliament when this happened

What a moment…

UKIP’s Nigel Farage has been left red faced by a member of the European Parliament during a speech he was giving about Donald Trump’s controversial immigration ban.

London MEP Seb Dance switched seats to sit behind Farage and hold up a sign during his speech which said: “He’s lying to you”.

The moment came during the speech where Farage accused the EU of being “anti-American” and “anti-democratic zealots”.

Farage suggested that the new President of the US be invited to speak to the European Parliament.

“Let us invite President Trump to come here to this European Parliament. I’m sure as democrats you’d all agree that we need to do is have an open dialogue with the newly-elected, most powerful man in the world.

“And if you throw that rejection back in your face then you prove yourself to be the anti-democratic zealots that I always thought you were.”

Dance wasn’t about to let this happen…

He even got told off for his actions…
