Danny Jones has won I’m A Celebrity 2024

The celeb has been crowned the King of the jungle after an arduous season.

Whether it be being forced to drink the worst concoctions known to man, being covered in creepy crawlies and snakes, or even just withstanding what must be one of the worst smelling places in the world, he’s earned it.

He beat out Reverend Richard Coles and Coleen Rooney to be crowned this year’s champion.

Coles was a fan favourite but was not really expected to beat out Coleen Rooney and Danny Jones who both made it to the final two on the show.

Rooney was, alongside Danny Jones and N Dubs star Tulisa, considered from the start to be one of the favourites to win I’m A Celeb.

While Wagatha Christie was able to sniff out the fake camp luxury that Maura Higgins and Coles were staying in, she was unable to find her way to a win.

Despite this, Jones opening up about his battle with anxiety made him a firm favourite amongst fans.

Speaking about his time on I’m A Celeb just prior to his win he said: “This is totally insane. I’ve learned so much about myself, and that’s because the camp mates were unbelievable.

“They made it so easy for us to get through the hard times. I’ve had some of the hardest times I’ve ever had, some of the highest highs, and just tried to have fun along the way. It was way harder, harder than what it comes across on TV, but it’s real in there.

“You’re hungry, you’re tired, you’re lethargic.”

Despite this, he will not actually win any prize money.

This is due to the fact every I’m A Celeb contestant receives a flat fee.

The only condition on this is that they stay in the jungle for 72 hours.

So, whether you spend a month or three days down under, you get the money you were promised at the start.

They also won’t even be allowed to keep their crown and sceptre for very long.

Last year’s winner Sam Thompson revealed on This Morning last year that he was made to give it back before he even left Australia, saying: “I didn’t get to keep anything! They wouldn’t let me keep anything!

“I had to give the sceptre back. I really wanted to bring it through airport security because it’s quite big,” he laughed.

“But yeah, I don’t have anything to show for it.”
