Jacqueline Jossa made a heartwarming tribute to her husband Dan Osborne last night as she was crowned queen of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here 2019.
The actress, 27, who pipped runner up Andy Whyment to the post, broke down as last year's runner-up Emily Atack crowned her, saying how much she loves her husband and family.
She said: "You don't know how much this means, I love my family so much, I love Daniel, I love my kids, I love my mum, dad, sisters, I love you so much."

The tribute comes amid claims Dan, 28, has cheated on wife Jacqueline, which he denies.
Earlier this year, the former TOWIE star, who wed the Eastenders actress in 2017, was forced to deny having a fling with Love Island's Gabby Allen - whose ex Myles Stephenson was in the jungle with Jaq.
The drama then kicked off once again when a source told The Sun that Myles allegedly spoke about the "affair" off-camera, in an exchange that left Jacqueline so devastated she threatened to leave camp.

A show source told the paper that ITV producers allowed Jacqueline to call Dan when she heard the claims inside the jungle.
"Producers felt it was appropriate to allow her to contact Dan but this was done through sending messages and there was no direct contact in terms of a conversation on the phone," the source said.
Adding: "It was a delicate balance in terms of giving Jacqueline peace of mind so she didn't walk out of the show, but also not bending the rules too much compared to the other contestants."

"Bosses always have the contestants' welfare as their main priority and this felt like the right thing to do on this occasion."
But since then, fresh claims have surfaced that he also engaged in a threesome with Celebrity Big Brother co-star Chloe Ayling and Natalie Nunn while he was with Jacqueline. So Jacqueline has yet more drama to face now she's exited the jungle.
He has denied all allegations, taking to Twitter to say: "As I said in my post earlier this week, news outlets were trying to find anyone who would talk complete rubbish about me for money and it looks like they found someone who has no morals! I am seeking legal advice".
He later added: "No matter how much they try breaking us, we are and will always remain a team. Keep smashing it in that jungle and I can not wait to see you when you get out @jacjossa".

But it seems that Jacqueline is at least willing to hear Dan out, given the warm welcome she gave her husband as she was crowned queen.
However, it sounds as though she is set not be seen as "a doormat" any longer, saying as she exited the jungle: "I've always been known as Lauren from EastEnders, or a doormat, or whatever you want to call it, and coming here I have actually proved myself."
Dan looks set to fight for her too, taking to Twitter yesterday to explain how proud he is of her for winning the show.

He said: "My jungle Queen!! words can not describe how proud I am of this woman! She absolutely smashed it from day 1 and deserves this sooo much!! Well done baby".
And it's no surprise he's proud of the EastEnders actress who has spent three gruelling weeks in the jungle.
Being asked how she found her time in the outback she said: "It was not what I expected."
"It was a lot harder. I didn't think it would be such a turning point in life, I went in as one person, I feel like I have come out as a different person. I've grown in confidence and found who I am as a person."
She added: "I think it's so easy to care so much what other people think of you, trolls, people who say nasty things for the sake of it and I try to change their opinion.
"Here you have no choice, you have to be you. Here I have different people bigging me up of different ages, I can't really work out what is happening."
