This is an Irish Independent Podcast.
George is seen as the Farage whisperer.
He knows when Nigel needs a cigarette.
He knows when Nigel wants a beer.
He knows when Nigel wants a moment's peace.
He's there to pull the chair from under the table when he's about to sit down.
Absolutely.
I mean, he's quite a difficult figure to pin down, which is by design rather than through accident.
A US judge once described him as deceptive for subtly changing his name.
It's spelt
with two Ts and two Ls.
He legally changed it to have one T, one L. This Cottrell.
Cottrell.
He flies on private jets under an alias George Coe.
So quite who George Cottrell is, is its own riddle.
But to the extent we've been able to unravel some of his story, he comes from an aristocratic family.
His mother was the daughter of the third Baron Manton, and she dated the future King Charles in the 70s.
The match was broken off, actually, but she posed nude for Penthouse magazine.
So lots of colour in her life, lots of colour in his early life, because he grew up on Mustique, the Caribbean island.
He was born in Gloucestershire, raised in a cottage in rural Worcestershire, and was expelled from boarding school at Malvern College for his involvement in gambling.
