The winner of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2023 has been announced.
Heavyweight boxer Tony Bellew and Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson were battling it out to be crowned “King of the Jungle” after controversial politician Nigel Farage was voted off by the public earlier on during Sunday night’s episode (10 December), placing him third in the contest.
Hosts Ant and Dec then announced that Bellew had come second, making Thompson the winner for 2023.
An ecstatic Thompson said that winning I’m a Celebrity... had made his childhood “dream” come true, since he has been an avid fan of the show since it launched in 2002.
“You’ve made a boy’s dream come true,” he told viewers after learning about his win.
During his time in the Australian jungle, Thompson has been praised by his fellow contestants for bringing positivity to the camp. He was continuously enamoured to be in the presence of his campmate JLS star Marvin Humes, whom Thompson admitted to idolising growing up.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! Coming Out airs on Wednesday 13 December at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
