He was resigned to meeting one of the President Elect's team instead.

He also planned “a bit of Christmas shopping”.

Last month he was snapped with the US politician in a gold-plated Trump Towers lift.

The Brit then hopped across the pond again to meet the President Elect to help "formally or informally" mend fences with the US.

Donald Trump ruffled feathers in Westminster by suggesting Farage would do a "great job" as Britain's ambassador to the US. He soon after abandoned his bid.

Asked if the PM was worried about Mr Farage’s influence with Mr Trump, No10 said: “No.”
