I'm A Celebrity... South Africa winner Myleene Klass has revealed that she was given £100,000 in winnings, and said she is giving the money away.
In an Instagram post she said she will donate her winnings to the charity she has been a patron of for the last 11 years.
She wrote: "I am proud to donate my I’m A Celebrity prize money of £100,000.00 to Save the Children UK. I’ve been an ambassador for 11 years in which time I’ve travelled the globe helping STC.
She added: "The things I have seen will stay with me forever. Children in the Philippines playing by the ships that have run aground from the tsunami so they can be next to their parents that lay crushed beneath them.
"Dancing with children in refugee camps in Jordan as their parents weave me a chopping board made of plastic bags to say thank you for being there. (I still have it). Teaching rescued child brides in Tanzania the Solfa, Astronomy and Science as they study through the day, striving to become engineers and doctors to help their communities and at night, iron clothes and raise their own babies.
"Trying to share out food in Bangladesh to families as they make one small meal of broth and a bean stalk last 24 hours. Holding a mum in Nepal as she shows me where she thinks her baby is buried after they died of pneumonia and she couldn’t leave the hospital as she couldn’t pay the medical bill for 3 months, (it was £4)."
Myleene wrote: "We all just want the best for our children and due to luck and circumstance of birth, it’s not always something a child gets. My girls have always helped me pack balloons, sweets, stickers and nail polish for the children I go to. They themselves are now mini ambassadors.
"I’ve seen for myself, this money will go far. The mouse tails and rotten tofu were worth it."
The former Hear’Say singer turned radio presenter and businesswoman was announced on Friday as the winner of the first Legends version of the reality show – nearly 17 years after she finished runner-up on the original show.
And having branched out from music into running a clothing line as part of a business empire, she told the Sunday Telegraph she has been approached by both Conservatives and Labour to enter politics.

“I haven’t refused every time,” said Klass, 45.
“It’s on my list. I’ve surprised myself.
“Where I stand with my politics is that there are some things that genuinely affect everybody. I’m very passionate about the things I’m passionate about.”
An advocate for women’s health, she is getting involved in politics as she goes through the “utterly painful” process of backing a change to the Women’s Health Strategy in Parliament.
Among the details of the strategy is a call to ensure women will not have to suffer up to three miscarriages before receiving help – an issue with which she is personally acquainted.
“Having been through this – I’ve been pregnant seven times, I had three babies, so you can do the maths – it’s heartbreaking, but you have to turn your pain into power,” she said. “I don’t want my daughters to experience this.”
She called on the MP responsible for the strategy, Maria Caulfield, to act on pushing it through, but refused to say how she votes, saying: “I’m a fan of people who get things done.”
Klass has made an impact in the House of Commons after lambasting then-Labour leader Ed Miliband for the proposed mansion tax on TV in 2014, leading then-prime minister David Cameron to tell his opposition he had taken “a pasting from a pop star”.
