Danny Jones has tonight been crowned the new I’m A Celebrity King of the Jungle after he narrowly beat Coleen Rooney in a nail-biting final.
The McFly musician was overcome with emotion when he was declared the winner after 21 days in the camp which saw him charm the nation as he opened up about his struggles with anxiety.
More than 10 million votes were counted as Rooney finished runner-up while Reverend Richard Coles came in third.

Danny – I’m A Celeb experience was ‘mentally draining’
I’ve had the most overwhelming physically and mentally draining experience and I’ve come out learning something about myself and these guys, it was so interesting and inspiring.
I never thought I would open up with every camera in the world on you. I showed a side I only show my nearest and dearest but I was asked and that is what I’m like when I’m asked those questions. We don’t talk about that stuff as men, I feel healed because it’s out there and I showed emotion and that’s strength. I didn’t realise people are going through the same thing, it’s nice to get it out there and it’s out there now and I do feel good for it.
It was utterly daunting and I was about to get back on the flight because I was feeling anxious and I haven’t felt anxious in years. I am most excited that Dougie can’t take the mick now because I won too.
Coleen – Wayne warned me ‘don’t take off in there’
Doing chores comes naturally to me, I can’t be bothered with moaning, when I job needs doing I just do it. I had to stick to my chores but I just like to get on with it but I’ve learnt to be patient.
I would think the public knows the real Coleen being on screen all day, Obviously its not in my home environment but it does test you so if I was going to break and snap it would be in there, that was one of the things I was surprised at that I didn’t do. Wayne warned me before and said: ‘Don’t take off in there’.
‘I got a shock when I saw myself on camera and thought I was so shiny!

Coleen – I had my bag packed a week ago
I didn’t think I would make it that far, I was ready to go a week ago, i had my bag packed every morning with everything and then I would go back and unpack. I think that people vote meant a lot, i have celebrated a lot of people in my life, so for people to celebrate me felt special.
It came round really quick, saying yes to the show, I was busy organising everything before i came, it was until I was in there that I thought, “What am I doing?” day three the headache set in and I was surrounded by a lot of big personalities and I thought, “How am I going to survive in here?” But it got easier. I’m glad I chose this year, previous years there was a few tricky characters in there.
