The McFly singer was voted King of the Jungle by ITV viewers beating Reverend Richard Coles and Wag Coleen Rooney, who came in second place.

Favourite to win the jungle show, Danny was praised for opening up on his battle with anxiety in camp, and his friendship with boxing legend Barry McGuigan left viewers in tears.

Crying, he said after his name was announced: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I gave it my all, it's a lovely feeling to be 'liked!'"

Speaking to Ant and Dec, the dad-of-one revealed how the show had changed him.

He said: "I've learned time is really important.

"I came in here and just wanted to show Cooper how brave I was.

"But I've actually gone further than that and deeper than that.

"I never thought I'd say that, but I'm coming out of this jungle just knowing more about myself and appreciating way more, and that is, for me, is so worth it."

The 38-year-old opened up on his friendship with Barry to fellow campmate Oti Mabuse, saying: "My dad, he doesn't speak to me.

"You can go to therapy, but you still crave your dad and that's what hard.

"That's why I get so much satisfaction out of Barry."

Speaking more about his relationship with his dad, Danny said on the show: "He was amazing yeah, we went to see Bolton Wanderers every weekend, got a Maccy Ds before, I've got great memories.

"He was a hugger, he was a kisser and then when he left us, that's when I had to grow up real fast, I bought my mum's house.

"I was 18 years old, I bought myself a flat in London and I bought my mum's house and I put my sister through university."

Danny was met by wife Georgia and their son Cooper as he left the Aussie camp.

The star had earlier said goodbye to Reverend Richard Coles who came in third place.

LAST SUPPER

After triumphing in their final-ever Bushtucker trial, the last three campmates were treated to a feast fit for royalty.

Each chose their ultimate favourite dishes for a farewell banquet in camp.

Danny’s began with mozzarella sticks paired with sweet chili sauce, followed by a buttermilk chicken burger and chips as his main.

For dessert, he indulged in fresh cream profiteroles drizzled with warm Nutella sauce, all washed down with a cold glass of beer.

Coleen’s picks started with bruschetta, moving on to a classic spaghetti bolognese topped with flaky parmesan cheese and garlic bread.

She joined Danny in selecting fresh cream profiteroles with Nutella sauce for dessert and rounded off her meal with a glass of French pale Provence rosé.

Richard opted for a king prawn cocktail with salad to start, followed by a hearty main of cottage pie served with peas, carrots, and gravy.

For dessert, he enjoyed fruit cake, accompanied by a glass of refined Chablis Grand Cru.

The extravagant meal was a well-deserved celebration for the final three after weeks of jungle challenges and eating rice and beans, critters and animal parts.
