It's official – after three weeks of tears, trials and tribulations, I'm A Celebrity has crowned Jill Scott as their 2022 winner.

After a gruelling final day which included one last bushtucker trial where she was smothered with rats, Scott joined Ant and Dec as she returned to reality to a hero's welcome.

Speaking on their win, the star was given their crown and sceptre and said: "Oh, I just can't believe it honestly. I think I'm going to owe my grandma a lot of money for the 12million calls!"

She later paid tribute to the rest of her campmates, and said: "Look, these guys were absolutely incredible. We were one big team. I don't think there should be one winner. We couldn't have gone through it without all of us and I think we've all been winners of I'm A Celebrity."

Warner came second, while MP Hancock made it to third place. She was crowned by Mike Tindall, who came in fourth place.

Scott beat out 11 other UK celebrities in order to be crowned jungle champion, with 2022 proving to be one of the show's most dramatic and divisive to date.
