I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here winner Sam Thompson has told how he thought he'd be leaving the jungle on day one after suffering a health concern.

The former Made In Chelsea star quickly became a favourite as he headed Down Under for the ITV reality show. After three weeks in the jungle, where he formed some special romances with the likes of JLS star Marvin Humes and retired boxer Tony Bellew and took on various Bushtucker trials and challenges, Sam emerged victorious after making it to the final with Tony and Nigel Farage.

After his win, announced by presenters Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, former Made In Chelsea star Sam leapt into the arms of 41-year-old Tony before he was met by best pal Pete Wicks on the iconic rope bridge.
