These I'm A Celebrity Voting Figures Reveal Just How Close This Year's Final Was
Voting stats for this year’s I’m A Celebrity final have revealed that Danny Jones comfortably won the series.
On Sunday night, the McFly musician was crowned the new King Of The Jungle by I’m A Celebrity viewers, ahead of runner up Coleen Rooney and third place finisher Reverend Richard Coles.
The following morning, ITV shared a breakdown of the final vote, and it was perhaps closer than you might have thought.
At the time of Reverend Richard’s elimination, the popstar-turned-religious-minister secured 25.18% of the vote, while Danny led the way with 41.36% to Coleen’s 33.47%.
When the vote closed later in the evening, Danny received a total of 55.21%, while Coleen landed a respectable 44.79%.
Speaking on Lorraine the morning after his victory, Danny said the jungle was “the most overwhelming, amazing, rewarding experience I will ever have in my life”.
“There are times where you are talking about some deeper stuff and I didn’t expect to open up like that. I didn’t expect to show my vulnerable side,” he admitted.
“I showed a side that only my nearest and dearest see really. I have been myself and showed everything and I feel really thankful that everyone bothered to vote for me. I feel on top of the world being King of the Jungle.”
Meanwhile, Coleen opened up to Good Morning Britain about her first conversation with husband Wayne since leaving camp.
“He just said how much he missed me, how proud he was, and he said the support back home has been unbelievable,” she shared.
“He just can’t wait to see me and I can’t wait to see him as well.”

She also addressed speculation in the tabloid press that she’d already landed a TV deal worth £1 million off the back of her I’m A Celebrity appearance.
“Apart from speaking to Wayne and my boys, I haven’t seen anything and I don’t intend to until I get back into the UK,” she insisted.
“I’m looking forward to Christmas, and then in January I will sit down with my team and see what I am going to do going forward.”
