ITV I'm A Celebrity fans say 'as if' as Danny Jones says show prize has 'seen better days'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Danny Jones has taken fans by surprise more than a week after his I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here win as he finally made his return to the UK.

The McFly star was among the 12 famous faces to swap life luxuries for the basics of camp in the jungle in the latest run of the ITV reality show, fronted by presenting duo Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly.

He made it to the final three alongside TV personality Coleen Rooney, who finished runner-up, and third place star Reverend Richard Coles before he was confirmed to have followed in his McFly bandmate Dougie Poytner's footsteps by being crowned the king of the jungle.

But his I'm A Celeb win comes after Danny admitted that he had planned to take six months off to move house ahead of his tour next year, but that he could not turn down I’m A Celeb when the opportunity presented itself and therefore his wife Georgia ploughed on with the move in his absence.
