Actor Danny Miller has opened up about how he struggled after taking part in I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!.
The former Emmerdale actor was crowned King of the castle during last year's show, which took place in Wales. Best known for playing Aaron Dingle on the ITV soap, Danny beat Coronation Street star Simon Gregson in the final of the popular reality show.
At the time, fans were surprised Danny decided to take part in the show, just three weeks after the birth of his son Albert. However, the 31-year-old said his motivation was to financially set up his baby boy for the future.

During today's episode of Good Morning Britain, Danny revealed he really struggled after leaving the camp. To him, the stark contrast from being isolated to being back in the "real world" was quite a lot to process.
He told presenters Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway: "It took me a few months to be able to go and say 'I wish I could've done it again' because I hated the feeling after it of kind of being completely isolated to being like 'here's a load of responsibilities' and 'here's your phone back'.
"I really struggled with it because it was hard...you didn't have to worry about anything, because you didn't have any phones, you had no stresses, no worries, no anxieties and suddenly you got out and someone goes 'oh, well done for winning, here's your phone back'. There are still messages I haven't read because it's quite overwhelming."
Despite how he felt after the show, Danny enjoyed his time in the castle, especially his friendship with co-star David Ginola. Fans last year were treated to a number of heartwarming "bromance" scenes and Danny revealed the former footballer had actually given him a nickname.
Danny said: "He texted me yesterday, saying 'how are you doing, crumpet'. He didn't know what a crumpet was, so I introduced him to Marmite, butter and a crumpet - if you never had it, you need to have it."
Ben Shephard replied: "When David Ginola has a pet name for you, you know you've made it." Danny grinned and said: "Well, we shared a bed for a long time."
The actor also spoke about being in this year's panto Jack and the Beanstalk at the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford alongside RuPaul's Drag Race star Divina De Campo. The panto will run from Saturday, December 10 to Sunday, January 22.
