When Phil Tufnell was on I'm A Celebrity, did he win and who else was on the show

Former King of the Jungle Phil Tufnell is joining a host of other I'm A Celebrity legends to battle it out in the South African bush. The first series of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa will see some of the most memorable campmates from the Australian jungle return for an even tougher test.

Cricket legend Phil Tufnell - or Tuffers - was the ITV show's second-ever winner. After retiring from professional cricket, Phil flew to Australia for the 2003 series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

He lasted the full 15 days, taking on three bushtucker trials and winning 17 stars for camp. After charming the public with his antics he was voted their favourite, beating his jungle chums Linda Barker and John Fashanu on the final day.

Phil, 56, told ITV that the highlight of his stint in Oz was being crowned the winner. "I never went in with a game plan and we were all naive back then but it was great to win," he told the show.

Phil said he felt "very brave" during his time on I'm A Celeb, adding that he felt proud of himself for completing the trials. "The trials don’t half make you feel that you are alive," he told ITV.

You do get a buzz and you’ve got to throw yourself into it all."

His other campmates included dancer Wayne Sleep, chef Anthony Worrall-Thompson, actress Toyah Wilcox, model Catalina Guirado, soapstar Chris Bisson, weathergirl Sian Lloyd and Eastenders' Daniella Westbrook, who dropped out shortly after public voting began.
