Earlier, the episode featured heartfelt campfire reflections. Richard reminisced: “I’ve had a great time, I’ve loved it. And even the tough stuff, looking back, I know I’ll have loved the whole thing.”

Coleen reflected on her journey, saying: “These last few days have made it for me to say I actually have really enjoyed it.” While Danny chimed in with a positive note: “It’s just been more fun, hasn’t it? As we’ve gone on.”

Oti Mabuse shared a touching moment of camaraderie, saying: “When we’ve been more intimate, as a smaller group.”

But it was Richard’s quip that truly had the camp in stitches. He cheekily envisioned: “And when we’re very old, and me exceptionally old, we’ll remember it. We’ll bump into each other as Coleen picks up her peerage, Lady Rooney, Danny’s there to get his knighthood and Oti Mabuse is there to sit on the throne! I’ll turn up with my sandwiches and go, ‘I used to know them!'”

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Final airs tomorrow at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
