Former X Factor star Stacey Solomon has been crowned Queen of the Jungle winning ITV1’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.
The 21-year-old Dagenham girl defeated Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder – the pair were the last two left standing.
Solomon, who finished third in the X Factor last year, won the viewers’ phone-in poll after bravely dealing with a ‘Bush spa’ accompanied by crickets, cockroaches, rhino beetles, spiders and stick insects.
Being presented with the crown by ITV2 presenter Caroline Flack and 2008 King of the Jungle Joe Swash, the single mother apologised for her bad breath, and said: “Thank you so much – I don’t know what to say.”
The young singer was always the bookies’ favourite to triumph in the reality television show.
Interviewed before Saturday evening’s winner was revealed she told presenters Ant and Dec: “I have had the time of my life”.
She said that she got along with all the contestants who included comedian Dom Joly, actor Nigel Havers, TV nutritionist Gillian McKeith and Olympic athlete Linford Christie.
