Jill Scott has won I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2022 after receiving the majority of the 12million votes.

Presenters Ant and Dec crowned the Lioness the new queen of the jungle during Sunday night’s final, which saw Owen Warner come second and Matt Hancock third.

After fellow campmate and royal Mike Tindall placed the crown on Jill’s head, she told the hosts: ‘I just can’t believe it!

‘Honestly, I think I’m going to owe my grandma a lot of money for the 12million votes she’s done.’

She added: ‘We were one big team, I don’t think there should be one winner, we couldn’t have got through it without all of us.’

Jill, who was greeted by her fiancée Shelly Unitt on the bridge, becomes the first LGBTQ+ woman to win I’m A Celebrity.

During the last episode of the series, the trio was tasked with their last ever Bushtucker trial where they could win themselves a three-course meal.

All three celebrities won the stars up for grabs and managed to secure themselves a luxurious feast.

Hancock treated himself to garlic king prawns to start, steak and chips with a mozzarella side salad. For dessert, he had homemade apple pie with salted caramel ice cream. He also enjoyed some red wine and blue cheese with crackers.

Jill opted for a prawn cocktail to start, traditional beef Sunday dinner with loads of gravy, Yorkshire pudding for the main and she had a cheese board for dessert. She chose a Coca-Cola for her drink and a flat white coffee and dairy milk for her treat. 

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is available to stream on catch-up on ITVX.
