Declan Donnelly is feeling smug after predicting Jill Scott’s I’m A Celebrity win before the final-Alistair McGeorge-Entertainment – Metro

Ant and Dec have revealed their I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! final three predictions and they weren’t far off.

Declan Donnelly looked very smug as the Geordie duo opened up their envelopes after Jill Scott was crowned Queen of the Jungle on Sunday night, and it turned out he’d backed her all along.

That’s pretty good going – it’s no wonder he was so pleased with himself as he unveiled his choices for the series.

He had Owen Warner in third place, just one short of the Hollyoak star’s actual spot as runner up, while he expected Mike Tindall to come second.

Of course, Mike just missed out on the top three, with Matt Hancock finishing third.

Dec’s co-host Ant McPartlin revealed his own predictions, having gone for Babatunde Aléshé as his pick for King of the Jungle, with 35-year-old retired footballer Jill in second place, and Owen in third.

‘So my winner was off, but those two were in the top three,’ he added.

Dec wasn’t the only one thinking Jill was going to win, as Metro.co.uk readers had their say in a poll before the final, with 47% picking her to take the crown, while 34% thought Matt Hancock was going to score an upset, and just 19% chose Owen.

The actual voting figures were slightly different, with Jill – who made history as the first LGBTQ+ woman to win – coming out on top with 47.29% of the votes.

Hollyoaks star Owen received just under a third of the votes, with 30.99% submitted for the 23-year-old, while Hancock, 44, received just over a fifth with 21.72% of the votes.

Speaking after her big moment, Jill quipped: ‘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.’
