Sunday night's final saw Danny crowned this year's winner, with Coleen Rooney as runner-up while Reverend Richard Coles placed third.

Full of emotion, Danny said: "It feels amazing, I can't even talk."

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart," he said. "I gave my all in there, I gave myself. It's a lovely feeling to be liked," he laughed, adding: "I appreciate it so much."

Earlier in the episode, the musician reflected on his experience on the show, describing it as "emotional". "It's insane," he said. "I've learned so much about myself and that's because of my campmates."

Coleen was over the moon for her campmate Danny. After placing second, the 38-year-old told hosts Ant and Dec: "I didn't think I would get this far, so I'm really happy and Danny really deserves it."

Danny follows in the footsteps of reality star and presenter Sam Thompson, who was crowned 2023's winner, beating heavyweight boxer Tony Bellew, who placed second, and politician Nigel Farage, who came in third.
