I'm A Celeb voting percentages revealed showing share Danny Jones, Coleen Rooney and Richard Coles got
I'm A Celebrity's Danny Jones was crowned King of the Jungle after going into the show as the bookies favourite. But as voting percentages released by ITV this morning show, it wasn't as close as you might think. In the two-horse vote for the winner McFly star Danny picked up 55.21% of the vote while Coleen Rooney in second place took 44.79%.
One joker, referring to Coleen's old enemy, wrote: "54% of Danny votes from Rebekah Vardy." Another posted: "I mean they both deserved to win but on a deeper level I’m so glad it was Danny and the way he cried when they said it shows how much it means to him!" A third wrote: "And all those people saying the show was fixed for Colleen to win!!! I would of been happy with either of them winning."
A further breakdown shows the share of the I'm A Celeb vote gained by the final three. That showed Danny taking 41.36% of the vote, Coleen with 33.47% and Reverend Richard Coles coming third with 25.18% of the public vote.

One fan remarked: "I expected more Richard voters to go Coleen tbf but obviously not." Another said: "Richard definitely the best contestant for the eating trails ever...bossed it!!" A third posted: "In the words of GK Barry it's a fix that the Rev didn't win. What a top bloke!!"
After his victory last night Danny told fans: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I gave my all in there - I gave myself. It’s a lovely feeling to be liked. I hope it comes across on TV, but it’s real in there. You’re hungry, you’re tired, you’re lethargic. It’s insane. I’ve learnt so much about myself."
Gracious in defeat, Coleen said: "I didn't expect to get this far! Danny truly deserves it, I was happy to share the camp with everyone." She added that it was nice to have "her turn" in the spotlight after years of being known as footballer Wayne Rooney's wife.
She was emotional even before making the final two, breaking down in tears in a rare show of emotion in I'm A Celeb's Bush Telegraph. She said: "Knowing that I have made it to the final makes me proud.
"I’m a proud mum, I’m a proud wife, I’m a proud daughter. It’s very rare that I’m proud of myself, so it means a lot. It’s very rare that I put myself first, so yeah these are happy tears!"
Third-place Richard, 62, said after being voted out last night: "It was much harder than I thought it would be, but that was great,” he said. “The lows were much lower, the highs are much higher, but it was the lows that made the highs. The best thing was everybody else, we had such a good time.”
The stars were seen returning to the fancy hotel where the axed celebrities have been staying alongside the cast's friends and family. Danny got a hero's welcome as he walked into the foyer with his stunning wife Georgia.
There were also huge cheers for Coleen, who had been met by her children on the bridge, and Richard, whose partner Dickie was waiting for him when he left. The reverend was seen hugging GK Barry, with whom he forged a close bond in the I'm A Celeb jungle.
