He was pleased to have opposed the EU and fought for Britain to quit the bloc.
"I am very proud of it," he said.
I played my part certainly. If it hadn't been for AFL UKIP developing the way it did we would not have had Brexit," said Sked.
British Prime Minister David Cameron had been in power 2010-15 with the support of the pro-EU Liberal Democrat party.
Prior to the 2017 election Cameron faced a problem with the rightwing of his party, and he agreed to meet their euroscepticism with a promise for a referendum after the election if he was in power.
"I don't think David Cameron meant to have a referendum. I think when he promised one he thought there would be another coalition government and Nick Clegg (Lib Dem leader) and the Liberal Democrats would veto a proposed referendum," said Sked.
"But he destroyed the Lib Dems in the 2017 election and he had to have a referendum and I still thought he thought he would win it."
