The winner of the 2024 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has been crowned.

McFly singer Danny Jones won the public vote in the final episode on Sunday, with Coleen Rooney coming second and the Reverend Richard Coles in third place.

It was once again presented by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly and filmed in New South Wales, Australia.

This year's line-up proved to be less controversial than previous years, after makers ITV confirmed it would feature no politicians.

During the final, the trio took on their final Bushtucker trial to win a three-course meal for their last night in camp.

In his exit interview, Reverend Coles said: "It was much harder than I thought it would be, but that was great.

"The best thing was everybody else, we had such a good time."

Also part of the line-up were professional dancer Oti Mabuse, Coronation street actor Alan Halsall, former professional boxer Barry McGuigan and TikToker GK Barry.

Love Island star Maura Higgins and Coles arrived in camp as this year's late arrivals.

Loose Women panellist Jane Moore was the first person to leave, calling it a "weird and magical experience".

She declined to call it a positive time, saying "I've never been so soaked in my life, constantly", referencing the rain that swept the camp on several days.

Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough was second to leave, after taking on seven trials during his time on the show.

He proved to be a divisive figure in the camp after being accused of not pulling his weight in tasks by his fellow celebrities.

In a shock twist, N-Dubz singer and former X Factor judge Tulisa Constostavlos became the third celebrity to leave.

She did not appear on ITV's spin-off show I'm A Celebrity... Unpacked and then deleted all posts about the show on her Instagram page.

Then Constostavlos posted a video, saying she had been feeling "overwhelmed" since leaving the jungle and was taking a break to focus on her mental health.

Next out was radio and TV presenter Melvin Odoom, who told hosts Ant and Dec that he "was ready to go" and reflected on his new friendships with Oti Mabuse, Danny Jones and Barry McGuigan.

After a night of no celebrities leaving on Wednesday evening, it meant two were given the boot on Thursday evening.

Barry McGuigan and Maura Higgins left the camp, in what was a shock twist for viewers.

Higgins said she was "really happy" to leave.

"'It's my time'. I had a gut feeling and my gut feeling is never wrong!" she told Ant and Dec in her exit chat.

McGuigan, however, was sad to leave as it meant he couldn't take part in the final challenge, the infamous Celebrity Cyclone.

As I'm A Celebrity series go, it's been a fairly peaceful one, with campmates getting on well and working together during challenges.

Dean McCullough caused some tension after being accused of not pulling his weight in camp chores, but was not rewarded by the voting public for spicing up the show, becoming the second celebrity to be eliminated.

Elsewhere, the I'm A Celeb lore of unlikely friendships continued, with social media star and podcaster GK Barry sharing many deep chats with Reverend Richard Coles.

"I don't know what a bromance is between a 62-year-old gay man and a 25-year-old lesbian, whatever it is, we're having one," Coles joked while speaking in the Bush Telegraph.

GK Barry and Coles joined the likes of Star Trek's George Takei and Eastenders' Joe Swash, plus X Factor star Jake Quickenden and former politician Edwina Currie, in the show's unlikely duo category.
