It’s been a thrilling few weeks in the jungle!
It’s been another exciting season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, with gruelling trials, wholesome friendships and jaw-dropping moments aplenty, all in just three weeks.
The final saw the three remaining contestants – Sam Thompson, Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage – take on their final challenge before Ant & Dec crowned the King of the Jungle.
The presenters revealed that Sam was this year’s winner, after receiving the most votes from the public.
The ex-Made in Chelsea star follows England footballer Jill Scott, who was crowned Queen of the Jungle in 2022.
The 23rd season saw a group of celebrities make their way to the outback and take on terrifying challenges as they tried to win stars for their fellow campmates.
Those making up the I’m a Celebrity 2023 line-up were Jamie Lynn Spears, Nigel Farage, Nick Pickard, Josie Gibson, Fred Sirieix, Nella Rose, Danielle Harold, Sam Thompson, Marvin Humes, Grace Dent, Tony Bellew and Frankie Dettori.
Sadly, there were two celebrities whose time in the jungle ended early, with Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears both withdrawing from the competition due to medical reasons.
The news of Dent exiting the camp was read out to her fellow celebs, who were all saddened by her departure.
“You’ve held me up and it’s been a pleasure being your friend through this experience. Leaving you all at this stage will be one of the saddest things in my life. I love you all. Your friend, Miss Grace Dent.”
