I’m A Celeb fans can’t believe how many votes Danny won by after official voting data is revealed

I’m A Celeb fans can’t believe how many votes Danny won by after official voting data is revealed

ITV have rushed to social media to share their surprise at the voting margins following last night's final

Danny Jones was crowned King of the Jungle during last night's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! final (8 December).

After putting up with brutal trials, camp-side chaos and a bunch of Ant and Dec's antics, the McFly star emerged as the victor and was brought to tears after finding out the public had voted for him to win the show.

Clearly emotional by the news, Danny told ITV viewers: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s a lovely feeling to be liked. I gave my all in there, and this means so much to me."

Reflecting on his time in the jungle and making it to the final, he said: "This is totally insane. I’ve learned so much about myself, and that’s because the campmates were unbelievable.

"It was way harder than it comes across on TV. You’re hungry, you’re tired, you’re lethargic."

While I’m A Celeb fans were absolutely over the moon after seeing the father-of-one take home the title, many couldn't quite wrap their heads around how many votes Danny actually won by after the official voting data was finally revealed

Now, the 'Five Colours in Her Hair' singer beat out runner-up Coleen Rooney and third-placer Reverend Richard Coles to the victory - but what exactly were the margins?

After catching light of the voting data, IAC fans rushed to social media to share their thoughts with one piping up: "Quite a big margin for Danny then!"

Another said: "Thought it was going to be a lot closer than that! Well done Danny #ImACeleb."

Despite winning, Jones will not get to keep his prize crown and staff.

Last year, previous winner Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson revealed he was forced to return the prize.

Speaking on This Morning following his win, the presenters asked him why he'd not brought his accolades along to the segment to which he revealed: "I didn't get to keep anything! They wouldn't let me keep anything!"

Laughing, he went on to say: "I had to give the sceptre back. I really wanted to bring it through airport security because it's quite big. But yeah, I don't have anything to show for it."

And that's not all as Danny also won't be receiving a cash prize for the win.

The reason for the decision is because ITV has decided the contestants will only receive a flat fee for appearing on the show.

According to Metro, the only condition for receiving such a fee is that campmates must remain in the jungle for at least 72 hours.

This means that, whether a campmate wins or not, they won't be taking home a lump sum cash prize, but will instead leave the jungle with a pre-agreed set fee under the condition of making it through the first three days.
