Apparently, winning I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! 2024 has made Danny Jones a changed man - literally.
He looks different and most likely smells different to how he did three weeks ago.
The only issue? His wife Georgia Horsley wasn't thrilled with one new aspect of his 'King of the Jungle' appearance.

The McFly star received his crown and sceptre last night (8 December) after ITV presenters Ant and Dec announced him the winner of this year's show.
Surrounded by all of his former campmates in the Aussie jungle - apart from Tulisa Contostavlos, who'd already returned home to the UK - Danny beat runner-up, much-loved WAG Coleen Rooney to the finish line, and left Reverend Richard Coles in third.
"I can’t even talk. It feels surreal!" he told viewers, breaking down in tears.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I gave my all in there and it’s a lovely feeling to be liked!"
Following his win, the father-of-one - who shares six-year-old son Cooper with his wife - appeared via video link on Lorraine this morning (9 December) to recount his experience and the support he received from those watching from home.
The Scottish TV host pointed out: "Georgia your lovely wife was here before talking about how proud she was of you.
"I know she’s with you, isn’t she? I bet she was so excited to see you."
"Yes she is here," he replied before Georgia also appeared on the screen.
"I mean it’s weird, it’s weird seeing him," Georgia began.
"He came back with a full beard and I’ve never seen him like that before so that was different but then he decided to shave it into a handle bar moustache."
Danny appeared entirely fresh-faced when he initially landed in the jungle in November but had since pulled quite the bearded look out of the bag.
Presenter Lorraine then laughed: "Right I’m not sure about that but never mind," before Danny jumped in: "She wasn’t sure either Lorraine, it wasn’t getting me anywhere."
Elsewhere in the interview, the musician admitted he never expected the general public to get rally behind him as much as they did.
"I feel overwhelmed and I was trying to explain it’s like when people buy tickets to your show," he said.
"I’m always amazed by it because it’s like ‘Wow this many people have paid to see me’.
"And the fact that so many people voted for me to be king, I am shocked and I will forever be thankful."
Danny then added: "I feel like I’ve connected with the UK and everyone at home in a different way than usual. When they are voting for me for just being myself it feels really rewarding so thank you everyone so much."
