The 38-year-old’s bank balance will likely only increase after being named king of the jungle beating runner-up Coleen Rooney on the ITV show.

While the father-of-one has not divulged how much he’s worth, his fortune was previously estimated at £2,000,000 to £4,000,000 by the Express.

This would have been topped up by his fee for I’m A Celebrity which is thought to be around £100,000 to £150,000 according to reports.

Danny’s popularity means he could also add to his net worth significantly in the next 12 months, brand and culture expert Nick Ede predicted.

He told the Daily Mail: ‘McFly star Danny Jones could also expect to increase his earnings by £1.5million over the coming year.
