Tonight, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2024 unveiled its latest champion amid a frenzy of social media excitement.
Fans instantly flooded social platforms to post their thoughts on the latest triumph, as a new jungle ruler was announced.
This instalment might have been branded the “best series ever” by some due to the beloved cast, but the show can only have one winner.
The trio vying for the top spot comprised Coleen Rooney, McFly’s Danny Jones, and the Reverend Richard Coles, with presenting duo Ant & Dec announcing the name of the victor live on ITV this evening.
In the end, it was Danny who was crowned King of the jungle, and plenty of fans were absolutely thrilled by the result.

“Coleen was the rightful winner,” a fan insisted, as yet another penned: “Predictable. Inevitable. Boring.”
One more fumed: “One of the most predictable results for one of the most boring series of I’m A Celeb there has ever been.”

Earlier, the show’s climax saw the final three contend in their ultimate Bushtucker trial titled The Towers of Terror, vying for an indulgent three-course feast.
Ant & Dec laid out the rules, stating every finalist needed to succeed in both segments of the challenge to claim their dream dinner of starter, main, dessert, and drink back in camp.
For the inaugural leg of the trial, all finalists found themselves positioned within the first tower, each lying back with Coleen in the highest segment, Danny in between, and Richard ensconced below.
As the trial commenced, they had to navigate the stars down to each other at the base of the tower, into the coveted yellow ‘win zone’. Coleen couldn’t contain her fear as snakes joined them, exclaiming: “Ahh, something’s wrapping round my foot!”
After acing the first segment within ten minutes, they moved on to the second, taller tower for the climax of their Bushtucker trial, with another ten minutes to secure the rest of their stars.
Ant announced to the group: “Now you’ve already taken on the smaller one, the Dec Tower, it’s time for the much taller, Ant tower!”
The challenge involved three levels where they had to dislodge star pieces and funnel them down to Danny at the bottom, who was tasked with assembling them like a puzzle to earn stars for camp. Despite being doused in fish guts, spiders, and cockroaches, they triumphantly completed the puzzle, celebrating their victory.
Post-trial, Danny expressed: “Super proud of ourselves, it’s been an amazing journey and honestly, what a way to go out!” Richard chimed in with pride but noted their unpleasant odour, while Coleen confessed: “I’m glad it’s all over.”
