Sam's win was announced by hosts Ant and Dec, with Tony Bellew in second place and Nigel Farage third.

Now, ITV has released the voting figures for this year's I'm A Celeb final. In the vote for third place, Sam received 43.35% of the public vote, whilst Tony got 30.87% and Nigel had 25.78%. Meanwhile, in the vote for King of the Jungle, Sam received 56.64% and Tony got 43.36%.

Speaking about his win on the show, Sam got emotional and told Ant and Dec: "I feel overwhelmed, I didn't even think I would get invited on the show. I am so grateful, I have dreamed of being on this show. You just made a boy's dream come true.

"I never knew I could be as happy as I am right now, it's been magical. It's like a dream I don't want you to wake me up from. I got asked for my down moments in there and I don't know, even the moments I felt low I was like, 'I am feeling low in the jungle.'

"There were so many amazing people I never thought I would get to spend time with."
