The 35-year-old former professional footballer told Ant and Dec: "I can't believe this. I just can't believe it. Honestly, I'm gonna owe my grandma, a lot of money for the 12 million votes that came in. It's definitely hard to take in.

"These guys have been incredible, there shouldn't be just one winner, we couldn't have got through it without each other."

The Lioness was then crowned by fourth-placed campmate Mike Tindall and could be heard crying "Oh my God, wow!" as she walked across the bridge on her way to her partner Shelly Unnit.

Though he was a controversial signing for the show, the former Health Secretary Matt Hancock defied the odds by making it to the final.

Speaking to Ant and Dec about the achievement, he said: "I just wanted to show what I'm like as a person. Lots of people come to me with preconceived ideas for obvious reasons and I just wanted ti to be myself. I strongly believe that politicians as a whole don't come across as human."
