Emmerdale's Danny Miller breaks silence on I'm A Celebrity 'snub' as fans baffled

Danny Miller has broke his silence on his I'm A Celebrity "snub".

The Aaron Dingle star was crowned King of the Castle on TV's toughest entertainment challenge last year. The latest season of the popular programme saw I'm A Celebrity return to the Australian jungle.

The series concluded on Sunday as Jill Scott was crowned Queen of the Jungle. However, fans were confused when there was a change to the traditional crowning ceremony.

In previous years, the reigning King or Queen has handed over the crown to the new winner. However, fans were confused as Danny did not hand the crown the over on Sunday's episode - as Mirror Online reports.

One user said: "Why didn't Danny Miller crown Jill? #ImACeleb." Another added : "Thought Danny Miller may have been there to crown Jill?"

It is now understood the previous winners were only in Australia the year after winning the show to film the programme's spin-off Get Me Out Of Here Now on ITV2. However, now the show's been axed there is no reason for the outgoing kings and queens to make the trip from the UK.

Danny was declared victorious when I'm A Celeb was still being filmed in Grwych Castle in Wales due to the pandemic. He has taken to social media to issue his congratulation to the new winner.

He said: "Deserved winner @JillScottJS8 ! A pleasure to hand over the crown to you! Enjoy it!"
