Myleene Klass has made history as I'm A Celebrity... South Africa's first ever winner.

The 45-year-old musician, model and TV presenter took home the crown, as well as the titles 'Queen of the Jungle,' and 'I'm A Celebrity legend' last night (12 May) in the finale of the spinoff series.

The final three saw Klass up against Fatima Whitbread and Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo, before Klass and Banjo were left to go head-to-head in the last eating challenge.

Klass may have thrown up, but she came out victorious, and I'm A Celeb viewers have been flocking to social media to congratulate her on her win.

Klass - who first rose to fame with pop band Hear'Say - first appeared on the survival reality TV series back in 2006.

The 45-year-old was hesitant to return to the ITV show, worried it wouldn't be 'as good' an experience, however, she reflected and, as per The Mirror, said: "I’ve gone back into the bush and it’s been even bigger, more majestic.

"[...] Everything was magical, very tough - challenging both mentally and physically - and something that I’ve loved throwing myself into."

The mum-of-three dedicated her win to her children - two daughters Ava and Hero and son, Apollo - noting when she became a mum she felt like she gained a 'superpower' and that missing her children while in the jungle helped motivate her through the challenges.

Viewers have since flooded to social media in support of Klass.

One Twitter user wrote: "You are TOTALLY the winner…. A mum, a fearless mum, who plays piano… and is STRONG for yourself, women, and your family… never wear a cape… no need… you are a hero ( my 8 year old daughter has huge aspirations thanks to you..) xx."

Another said: "Your so amazing I watched you on TV and I wanted you to win from the start. You are so inspirational to young girls out there. You did so good."

A third social media user commented: "TV doesn’t normally make me feel sick but Myleene Klass eating 60 mouse tails and 40 portions of rotten Tofu is making me want to vomit. She deserves to be an Im A Celeb Legend after that."

A final resolved: "You have shown so many women and girls that no matter who they are, they can achieve anything. We are so lucky to have someone inspiring to look up to."
