Cryptocurrency entrepreneur George Cottrell provided accommodation, staff and security but the Reform leader insists they were all gifts before he became an MP.
Farage is already being investigated for potentially breaking Commons rules by not declaring a £5 million gift from a bitcoin billionaire.
MPs are calling for that probe to be expanded after the Sunday Times alleged that Farage had also not revealed he'd received financial support from another cryptocurrency businessman who is a convicted fraudster.
Farage says he has "done no wrongdoing", while Reform UK said Farage did not need to admit to the donations because Cottrell gave it in a “personal capacity”.
And Cottrell has said today that he disputes the allegations and assertions made by the Sunday Times.
