The stars of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! were all smiles as they reunited for a boozy afternoon following the epic final.

Former reality star Sam Thompson was crowned the winner of the latest series of the gruelling challenge show, after a total of 12 celebrities headed into the Australian jungle to rough it for three weeks. He beat former UKIP Leader Nigel Farage and boxer Tony Bellew.

The campmates, including Nella Rose, Fred Sirieix, Marvin Humes, Josie Gibson, Nigel Farage, Nick Packard, Danielle Harold and Frankie Dettori, dressed to the nines to celebrate their achievements in the jungle as well as Sam's incredible win as King of the Jungle.

They all clinked their glasses of prosecco as they caught up on everything from the jungle. Farage looked ready for a meeting in a dapper blue suit while Sam kept it casual in light blue jeans, a white shirt, and a colourful overshirt. Tony kept it low-key in an all-black ensemble while Nella white for an all-white look.

In another snap, they all raised their index finger in the air as Marvin held a microphone towards Sam's face - who looked over the moon to be with everyone. After his win, Sam took to the throne and told hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: "I feel overwhelmed, I didn't even think I would get invited on the show.

"Asked if he had a message for voters, he said: "I am so grateful, I have dreamed of being on this show. You just made a boy's dream come true."

Sam also told the presenting duo: "I never knew I could be as happy as I am right now, it's been magical. It's like a dream I don't want you to wake me up from. I got asked for my down moments in there and I don't know, even the moments I felt low I was like 'I am feeling low in the jungle'.

"There were so many amazing people I never thought I would get to spend time with." Asked about the prospect of winning he said: "I just wanted to hit cyclone. Anything else is a bonus and feels like a dream." The former Made In Chelsea star, 31, and Tony, 41, formed an unlikely friendship in the camp.

The radio star and former professional boxer took on a father-son type relationship. Tony joked Sam was his fifth child and even said he could join him for Christmas.

In one snap at the reception drinks, Sam held up his phone to take an iconic selfie with all the other contestants - who showed off their pearly whites for the camera. They all looked refreshed and dapper after weeks in the jungle without proper showers and meals.

The series has undoubtedly been one of the most talked-about for a number of reasons. One of which was the signing of former UKIP leader Farage – who was reportedly paid a whopping £1.5million, the highest ever fee paid by the show, to take part. Farage, who finished in third place, critics vowed to boycott the series and even set up a petition to stop the 59-year-old from taking part.

Despite ITV bosses reportedly regretting his signing, Farage managed to make it to the final – despite clashing with campmates and being vocal about his desire for screen time on the programme. His critics slammed the show as a 'fix' as the ex-MEP continued to remain in camp while other stars were booted out following a public vote.
