An emotional Danny Jones has thanked his supporters after he was crowned King of the Jungle.

He sits on a wooden throne before he is coronated by last year’s King of the Jungle Sam Thompson.

He then places a crown of flowers on his head.

He tells Ant and Dec: ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I gave my all in there, I gave my self and it’s a lovely feeling to just be liked.

‘Thank you so much, I appreciate it so much.’

On coming second she said: ‘It was amazing, i didn’t think i would get this far, this is a massive thing for me. Danny truly deserves it, I was just happy to share the journey with everyone.’

She was immediately hugged by her sons and father, Anthony, and mother, Colette.

McFly’s Danny Jones has beaten Coleen Rooney to be crowned King of the Jungle.

While in the Jungle, Danny charmed the nation with his charm and no doubt had the backing of staunch McFly fans after he opened up about his struggles with anxiety.

Coleen gave a glimpse of what life was like with the Rooneys as she spoke to Ant and Dec and said it would be a ‘honour’ to win the series.

She told them: ‘Everyone was their genuine selves even if they come in not being, they eventually were, if you are true to yourself people see that and it’s easier, you’re not putting on a front. There were a lot of bonds in the there and it was comforting. It was very emotional in there. I got a buzz out of cracking the Junkyard mystery.

‘There’s not much difference between Wayne and the boys and my campmates, it’s much quieter in there. I took on the role of being mum in there and keeping busy, doing things around camp. It was hard not keeping myself busy, I got bored so much in there and I never get bored. It gave me time to think about me and my strengths and weaknesses and how much comfort i get from my loved ones around me. I had a wobble one morning about how much I was missing them but I knew they wanted me to carry on.

‘I am proud of myself for putting myself first. I’ve learnt that i can be patient. The kids wont say that. There have been certain things i wanted to step in and do that but I learnt to let it be, so i will be patient. But I learnt it’s ok if things don’t get done and do thing for yourself and have enjoyment for your loved ones.

‘Being down to earth, i couldn’t have wished someone better to be in the final with, fellow northerner. Everyone had different backgrounds but they made me feel comfortable and when I’m comfortable i will be myself.

‘It would be an honour to be crowned queen of the jungle, it’s a massive show that me and my family love watching. I think it would be nice for the boys to be proud of their mum, as they’ve been proud of their dad for so long.’

Danny told Ant and Dec he found a father figure in the boxing champion Barry McGuigan.

He told them: ‘I am so sorry for my emotions. I never thought I would open up like that. It’s been almost like therapy.

‘Seeing my son and wife was the best surprise i have ever had in my life. What this jungle does is give perspective and i wanted to show Cooper how brave i was, but i have gone further than that, i know more about myself and appreciate everything way more.

‘If I win it would be incredible and I don’t want Dougie to take the mick out of me if I don’t. Something really nice about just voting for me being myself, its a precious thing and thanks so much for getting me this far.

‘I feel emotional. I’ve learnt so much about myself because of my unbelievable campmates I’ve had some of the hardest times ive ever had and some of the highest, i tried to be clam in choas. I spoke to my bandmate Dougie about his time but it was way harder than I thought. It’s real in there, you are hungry tired and lethargic and there’s some serious choses. I’ve been my true self in there and shown only what my nearest and dearest would have seen and I’m surprised I did that, I thought I would be a lot more guarded. I’ve learnt how valuable time is with loved ones, I always prioritise my job so much but, of course, success is comprise but I need to come out and practice more time with my family and loved ones.

‘As soon as i got the guitar out i was rusty and I was nervous because there are some cool people in there but it’s kind of like a meditation for me.

Finalists Danny and Coleen have now joined Ant and Dec with one of them about to learn who has won this year’s I’m A Celebrity.

Danny is interviewed first and says he wants to viewers to know ‘it’s real in there’ as he says the hunger, tiredness was how he felt, adding he was glad to do trials to escape the boredom.

He says he has shown his ‘true self’ in the jungle which surprised him as he thought he would be more guarded.

There are just 15 minutes left to vote in this year’s I’m A Celebrity final as Danny Jones or Coleen Rooney will be crowned the new King or Queen of the Jungle.

We can now bring you clips from tonight’s last Bushtucker trial which saw Reverend Richard Coles, Danny Jones and Coleen Rooney invaded by snakes.

The trio successfully completed The Towers of Terror to win a three-course meal and a drink for their final meal.

After 18 days in the Jungle, the former Communards band member told Ant and Dec: ‘I am amazed. It’s lovely to be out. The whole thing has just been flabbergasting. It’s not what you think its’ going to be. I thought there would be luxury spars just off camera. It was much harder than i thought it would be. The lows were much lower and the highs much higher. the best thing was the people, you’ll bever be able to do that with those set of people. We were proper friends.

On being a late arrival and staying in the luxury Jungle Junkyard for the first few days, he said: ‘The beginning I had no idea what was going on. It was lovely to see Maura because we’ve met before and I love Maura. I never thought I’d be bunking up with a radio ne DJ and Love Island finalist.’

On the people: ‘everybody seemed to decide form the off that we were going to make it as much fun as we could. I thought I would have a bromance but not with the person I thought I would, GK. Instant affinity, she sees the world like i see the world and although she’s 25 and doing her thing and I’m 62 and doing my thing but we see the world in the same way. It helped me through the tougher times, she made me laugh every day.

‘She wants to take me for a Vaggazle, whatever she wants tome to do I will do I’m entirely in her hands.

‘The toughest one for me is a toss up between cockroaches in your face and mouth, or the gross fishbowl.

‘Drinking and eating more challenges than any other contestant worked for me because I got my protein and calories.

‘My last memory will be sheer joy of being with other people, testing your limits and waking up in the Jungle every morning.

‘I have a feeling Coleen will win.’

by Dolly Busby, Showbusiness Reporter in Queensland, Australia

Reverend Richard Coles is the tenth campmate to be voted off I’m A Celebrity, placing third overall which he ‘never thought he would make’.

On his final night, the Church of England vicar, 62, completed the show’s last Bushtucker Trial and enjoyed a dinner of king prawn cocktail with salad, cottage pie with peas, carrots and gravy with fruit cake for dessert and Chablis Grand Cru for his drink.

The Reverend leaves Coleen Rooney and McFly’s Danny Jones to fight it out for the winner.

He captured the nation’s hearts through the strong and unlikely friendships he formed with the TikTok star, GK Barry, 25, and the Love Islander, Maura Higgins, 33.

The Rev is dating actor, Dicke Cant, who was unable to make the journey out to Australia because he is working in a play, but Will informed Richard, ‘Dickie is very proud of you’.

He faced every single trial and told MailOnline before entering the show, ‘Well, you see I like eating weird things anyway, so I have a rule of, whenever I go anywhere, is to eat the local delicacy, which is sometimes not great.’

In the early 1980s he found fame as a popstar in the band the Communards with his friend Jimmy Somerville who were known for hits such as Don’t Leave Me This Way and Never Can Say Goodbye.

He admitted to having a separate bank account to pay his drug dealer and said: ‘How much have I spent on drugs in my life? Well, more than a clergyman should.’

But in 1990, he turned to God and has made numerous television appearances. He wrote for various national newspapers about the Church as a Reverand and has since been dubbed the ‘most famous vicar’.

Ant and Dec have revealed Reverend Richard Coles has finished in third place.

Here’s the moment Danny, Richard and Coleen enjoyed their final meal in camp after successfully winning a three-course meal and drink in their last Bushtucker trial.

Ant and Dec will soon reveal who has finished third as they prepare to go into camp.

Victorious from their last ever Bushtucker trial, it is time for the final three to dine like royalty with a spectacular feast to cap off their I’m A Celebrity journey.

Here’s what the final three have chosen to eat and drink:

Spaghetti bolognese with flaky parmesan cheese and garlic bread

Profiteroles with warm Nutella sauce *same as Danny’s*

Glass of French pale Provence rose

Mozzarella sticks with sweet chilli sauce

Buttermilk chicken burger and chips

Profiteroles with warm Nutella sauce for dessert

King prawn cocktail with salad

Cottage pie with peas, carrots and gravy

Fruit cake with Wensleydale cheese or equivalent

Glass of Chablis Grand Cru

Successfully piecing together all remaining stars, Coleen, Danny and Richard cheer as they complete their final ever Bushtucker trial, and successfully win a three-course meal and drink for their last dinner in camp.

Reflecting on the trial, Coleen admitted: ‘I’m glad it’s all over.’

Danny said: ‘Super proud of ourselves, it’s been an amazing journey and honestly, what a way to go out!’

Richard finished by saying: ‘I’m immensely proud, but we just don’t smell great!’

We can now show you Coleen Rooney’s emotional reaction to reaching the final of I’m A Celebrity.

The television personality and wife of former England and Manchester United footballer said she had ‘happy tears’ as she learned she was in the final three.

Successfully completing the first part of the trial within time limit to guarantee themselves starters and main courses, they then head to the second larger tower, for the final part of their Bushtucker trial to win their remaining stars.

Ant tells the celebrities: ‘Now you’ve already taken on the smaller one, the Dec Tower, it’s time for the much taller, Ant tower!’

Again tiered on three different levels, they release star pieces in their individual sections and get them down to Danny in the bottom tier whose task is to piece them together in a puzzle style formation to win the final two stars.

And of course, in true Bushtucker style they will be joined by fish guts, spiders and cockroaches as they make their way through the tower.

In the first trial, the trio place themselves in the first tower, lying on their backs with Coleen in the top section, Danny in the middle and Richard at the bottom.

As the trial starts they guide stars one by one down to one another to the very bottom of the tower, into the yellow win zone…but naturally they’re not alone as snakes soon join them.

Soon, Coleen screams and says: ‘Ahh, something’s wrapping round my foot!’ Ant and Dec remark they’ve never seen her that scared before.

Danny shouts: ‘There’s something up my shorts again’.

Danny, Coleen and Richard have been told about their final Bushtucker trial named ‘The Towers of Terror.’

Ant and Dec explain the trial will see all three of them will have to complete two parts of the trial in order to win a final feast in camp.

In return for stars, they’ll be winning a starter, main course, dessert and drink in camp.

Ant and Dec enter camp to reveal Oti is the next celebrity to leave the jungle – the exit we saw last night.

Coleen, Danny and Richard cheer and wave Oti off before heading back to camp to reflect on their achievement of making the final.

Richard says: ‘I can’t believe I’m one of the final three! I never thought I would make it this far.’

Danny adds: ‘It feels amazing, I didn’t expect this at all.’

While an emotional Coleen remarks: ‘Knowing that I have made it to the final makes me proud.

‘I’m a proud mum, I’m a proud wife, I’m a proud daughter, it’s very rare that I’m proud of myself, so it means a lot.

‘It’s very rare that I put myself first, so yeah these are happy tears.’

We join the camp on the last full day and the mood is high with celebrities overjoyed they’ve made it to the final four and had the chance to take on the epic Celebrity Cyclone.

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Oti reflects: ‘There’s a little bit of a buzz in camp this morning.

‘We are the final four and soon we are going to become the final three and we don’t know who’s going to leave but either way the four of us feel like we’ve had the entire journey and whatever happens, happens but I know I would’ve had the time of my life.’

Right we’re done with the build up…tune in to see who will be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle.

The programme has started and so has our live commentary as we guide you through the next 90 minutes.

Coleen, Danny or Richard will soon become jungle royalty.

Wayne Rooney continued to shower his ‘Queen’ Coleen with support as he shared a sweet clip with his two sons to urge their fans to vote for his wife ahead of the I’m A Celebrity final.

The footballer manager, 39, beamed with pride as he shared a clip to Instagram alongside two of his four children, Kai, 15, and Kit, eight.

Coleen and Wayne also share two other boys, Klay, 11, and Cass, six.

They shared a sweet clip in support of WAG Coleen, 38, saying that no matter the result, she will always be their queen.

Kai said: ‘Hi mum, excited to watch tonight. You’ve shown everyone who you really are and you’ve done us all proud and we all love you so much.’

Wayne then added: ‘Hi Col, we just want to wish you all the best in the final tonight, we’ve all been so proud of you. You’ve shown everyone who you really are and your character.

Coleen Rooney’s proud mum Colette has opened up about her daughter’s incredible I’m a Celebrity stint in an emotional admission.

The WAG, 38, was reunited with her mum and two boys Kit, eight, and Cass, six, in camp during Saturday’s episode.

Over the past three weeks, Coleen has unknowingly won over viewers with her time in the jungle and has become a fan favorite to win.

However, during a touching moment with her mum, she revealed feeling nervous about how people back home might see her.

‘As I held her, one of the things she said to me was ‘mum, have I been boring?’ Colette says. ‘It broke my heart hearing that but I said, ‘no, you’ve been yourself and that’s all that matters.’

In a new interview, Colette shared that Coleen’s jungle adventure has been exactly what she needed after a challenging two years dominated by her High Court battle.

I’m A Celeb’s Danny Jones was given a secret mission in Saturday’s episode of the ITV show but Coleen Rooney was quick to smell a rat.

The McFly star, 38, got pulled into the Bush Telegraph and was informed he would be partaking in the day’s challenge ‘Hide The Ranger’.

He was tasked with hiding various-sized rangers, from small to life-sized, around the camp without any of his campmates noticing.

Although he successfully hid all four, Coleen, 38, quickly suspected something was up.

Attempting to hide a huge toy ranger, Danny led his fellow celebrities out of the camp after claiming to have seen a koala.

As they stood distracted staring up at the trees, Danny managed to sneak the giant ranger into the camp, hiding him in the luxury bedroom, as Coleen questioned: ‘What are you up to?’

Maura Higgins showed off her incredible figure in a tiny black onesie outside the I’m A Celebrity hotel on Saturday.

The Love Island star, 34, was among the previously eliminated housemates who stepped out at the five star Marriott Hotel to welcome Oti and her husband Maurice Lepure.

The former Strictly Come Dancing professional was the ninth campmate to be eliminated in last night’s semi-final.

To greet Oti, Maura sported a black Alo all-in-one complete with cami straps and bicycle shorts.

She paired the onesie with an Alo cap and Alo ankle socks, as well as a pair of white sporty New Balance trainers.

I’m A Celebrity’s Coleen Rooney, Danny Jones, Oti Mabuse, and Reverend Richard Coles took on the epic cyclone challenge during Saturdays’ show.

And ITV viewers all had the same complaint as they watched the final four campmates – dress in latex hotpants and capes – get blasted by water cannons and fireballs.

Despite Declan telling the crew waiting at the sideline with hoses, ‘Don’t hold back!’, fans claimed it was the ‘quickest and easiest’ cyclone to date.

One wrote on social media platform X: ‘It went far too quick’; ‘That must have been the fastest cyclone ever’

‘100% that was the easiest ride they gave the celebrities for the cyclone. What a let down!’

‘That was a pretty underwhelming Celeb Cyclone…’

An I’m A Celebrity’s feud has been revealed after Alan Halsall accused Dean McCullough of ‘performing on camera’.

Coronation Street actor Alan, 42, was the latest celebrity to exit the jungle alongside GK Barry in a shocking double eviction on Friday’s instalment, as the series’ finale looms in.

The eliminated duo both joined hosts Ant and Dec on the ITV2 spin-off show Unpacked, where they were quick to spill the beans about their time on the reality show.

I’m A Celeb winner and host Sam Thompson asked Alan if there were any ‘performers’ in the camp to which Alan promptly replied hinting to a feud: ‘Dean! He’s got a story written all over his face.

The bold statement doesn’t come as a surprise since him and radio DJ Dean, 32, have previously clashed during their time inside the jungle – just before Dean’s departure.

Tulisa is reportedly back in Manchester following her I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! exit.

The N-Dubz singer, 36, was third to be voted off the ITV1 jungle reality show last week and it is tradition for those who have been eliminated to remain in Australia in a hotel until after the final.

But, according to The Sun, Tulisa has already flown back to the UK and used a ‘a private terminal so as not to be seen by paparazzi’.

Despite suggestions that she had fallen out with her friends that she had put in charge of her social media, insiders have now claimed that she left Australia over struggles with her mental health.

A source told the outlet: ‘Tulisa was pretty miffed and utterly baffled by the suggestion she had fallen out with Michelle – they are as close as ever.

‘They have flown back to the UK together and have been laughing about all the speculation.’

Scarlett Moffatt has issued a sad warning to the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! finalists ahead of the winner being crowned.

One of Coleen Rooney, 38, Reverend Richard Coles, 62, and Danny Jones, 38, will be made the next King or Queen of the Jungle in Sunday night’s final.

But Scarlett – who won the show in 2016 – has urged whoever wins to make sure they have a ‘good support network around them’ if things get tough due to the spotlight of the win.

She told The Mirror: ‘I was just on Gogglebox, not many people would come up to me on the street or anything like that, but then when you come out of a show like I’m A Celeb, all of a sudden everyone’s interested in what you’re doing.’

‘I would say to people just make sure they’ve got a good support network around them.

‘I did the opposite and left everyone and went on my own (to move to London), so I think that really affected me. If I wasn’t at work, filming, or doing something, I was just in my flat alone, and it felt very overwhelming.’

At the start Ant and Dec explained the concept and then asked the campmates how they were doing once in position – as Coleen said she was ‘feeling a bit nervous’.
