I’m a Celebrity 2024 final: Danny Jones first words’ after being crowned king of the jungle on ITV show

• Danny Jones has been crowned the king of the jungle for 2024.
• He is the 24th winner of I’m a Celebrity since the show started back in the early 2000s.
• The star was visibly overwhelmed with emotions after his victory.

Danny Jones thanked the public after being crowned king of the jungle. The McFly singer matched the achievement of his bandmate Dougie Poynter who won in 2011.

He had been the favourite with the bookies heading into the final - and had held that position throughout his time in the jungle, except for a brief spell when he was dethroned by Coleen Rooney. But he got to put on the famous crown and hold the iconic sceptre.

Danny was crowned the winner after a public ballot, which saw 10 million votes cast - according to Ant and Dec. He finished ahead of Coleen Rooney and Richard Coles.
