I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! came to an end on Sunday night, with Coleen Rooney, Danny Jones and Reverend Richard Coles in the final
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! came to an end on Sunday night with Danny Jones being revealed as the winner.
Finalists Coleen Rooney, Reverend Richard Coles, Danny Jones and Oti Mabuse were recently announced as the final four but, unfortunately, professional dancer Oti was voted out of the Australian jungle on Saturday night. After becoming the final three, the campmates discussed their final day in the camp.
Reverend Richard said: “I can’t believe I’m one of the final three! I never thought I would make it this far,” while Danny added: “It feels amazing, I didn’t expect this at all.” Meanwhile, Coleen got emotional in the Bush Telegraph, as she said: “Knowing that I have made it to the final makes me proud.
Danny has been crowned King of the Jungle
McFly star Danny was emotional as he was announced the winner and said: “It feels amazing, I can’t even talk.” He went on to thank fans for their support and joked it felt nice to ‘be liked’. He said: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I gave my all in there, it’s a lovely feeling to be liked. Thank you so much, I appreciate this so much.”
Speaking about the toughest thing about camp, Richard said: “The toughest one for me is a toss-up between having cockroaches in your face and mouth but also the fish bowl of gunk. I don’t know how I did it that was really really horrible.” He went on to discuss his lasting memory of his experience and added: “The sheer joy of being with other people, testing yourself beyond your normal limit and just being in the jungle.”
Before the winner was announced, Danny and Coleen also spoke about their three-week experience. Danny said about his time: “This is totally insane. I’ve learned so much about myself, and that’s because the camp mates were unbelievable. They made it so easy for us to get through the hard times. I’ve had some of the hardest times I’ve ever had, some of the highest highs, and just tried to have fun along the way. It was way harder, harder than what it comes across on TV, but it’s real in there. You’re hungry, you’re tired, you’re lethargic.”
Coleen said it was a ‘strange experience’ and said of her time in the jungle: “It gave me time to think about me, my strengths and weaknesses.” She added it was ‘her turn’ for her kids to be proud of her after they spent so long proud of their footballer dad.
Coleen was over the moon for her campmate
To celebrate their final night in camp, the final three were given a spectacular feast to celebrate their time in the jungle. The stars got to choose their favourite meals for the last supper in camp.
McFly singer Danny picked a starter of mozzarella sticks with sweet chilli sauce, a buttermilk chicken burger and chips for his main course, fresh cream profiteroles with Nutella sauce for dessert and a well-deserved cold glass of beer for his drink. Coleen picked a bruschetta starter, spaghetti bolognese and garlic bread for her main and the same dessert as Danny’s. She added a French pale Provence rosé for her choice of drink.
Meanwhile, fan-favourite Reverend Richard tucked into a prawn cocktail with a salad, cottage pie with peas, carrots and gravy for his main and a fruit cake for dessert. Of course, he couldn’t forget a Chablis Grand Cru for his drink.

During her exit interview, the former Strictly Come Dancing professional told presenters Ant and Dec that she feels “mentally and spiritually stronger” for being on the show. Speaking about what she most enjoyed, she said: “The conversations, getting to know new people, getting personal, opening up. I think it’s also personal battles that you go over and get over, and all of that. You just come out as a stronger, different person.”Speaking about what she will take away from her time in the jungle, the 34-year-old added: “I think I’ve learned to be happy with who I am, and that group kind of let me be all different versions – loud, crazy, calm, frustrated. They allowed me to be who I am, and I’ve just felt mentally and spiritually stronger.”
Among the other stars who have left camp in the past couple of days are former professional boxer Barry McGuigan, Love Island star Maura Higgins, podcast host Grace Keeling (GK Barry) and soap star Alan Halsall. N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos, Loose Women’s Jane Moore and radio presenters Dean McCullough and Melvin Odoom completed this year’s jungle line-up.
