UKIP donor Sir Stuart Wheeler has told Sky News two more Tory MPs are "seriously considering" defecting to the party.
The former Conservative Party major donor said he invited 10 Eurosceptic MPs to have lunch, with the knowledge of UKIP leader Nigel Farage. Eight of those asked said yes, while two others refused.
He added that none of those he met with wanted to do anything before the European elections, but UKIP success had changed confidence levels.
He said that if Douglas Carswell does well in the by-election in his Clacton seat, the success would also encourage others considering defecting.
Mr Carswell triggered the by-election after announcing his decision to quit the Conservative party for UKIP on Thursday.
Mr Farage told Sky News other MPs, from the Conservatives and Labour, were "considering their options".
