Kian Egan has been declared the king of the jungle in I’m A Celebrity 2013.
On leaving the jungle after an all-boys final with David Emanuel, Kian said: 'It was the best three weeks of my life.'
Kian was met by his tearful wife Jodi Albert, who looked stunning in a tight-fitting floral dress, as he crossed the bridge to collect his crown and trophy.
The finale pulled in 11.3 million viewers, making this series one of the most-watched ever - following on from the most popular year in 2010 which attracted 12.39 million people to their TV boxes.
Following his victory, Kian told the show's hosts Ant and Dec that he made 'amazing friends' during is time in the jungle, adding: 'It is genuinely something you'll never forget - I recommend it even to you two!'
He said one of the most challenging moments of the show was taking part in the Bushtucker Final Feast, in which he ate a fish eyeball.
He said 'I had never gagged until yesterday - all the other trials I was mentally prepared for.
'I think the fish eye was the worst thing I'd ever encountered. It was like thousand-year-old fish but thick and slimy.'
